Brands did such a great job of putting on the opening event for A1GP that it would be wrong, IMO, even to think of going elsewhere for 2006/7, particularly as MSV has a 3-year contract.
What does concern me is the way in which A1GP, supposedly an off season series, is encroaching on the normal season. It causes huge problems, as Ian Sowman has mentioned.
It also means, as we have seen this year, that the first choice drivers become unavailable due to other commitments. This could be a good thing if countries were prepared to switch drivers on a regular basis or choose drivers who do not have other commitments. But if you're in it to win it, that's easier said than done.
