Most involved have many years experience in these "ladder" formula's and have become very cinical. It is a very sad loss to motorsport.

Point taken Mak. Let's hope something good comes out of this A1-GP mess for those concerned. But I do think in a way it was in competition with other formulas. All drivers...well 99% of them, are looking to go F1..competing in A1-GP was part of that schooling, that process. People like Adam Carroll who deserves a good F1 chance. Being picked for A1-GP took them out of circulation from teams looking for funded F3/WSR or GP2 drivers. Let's hope too that Adam's work leads to better things.
