It is understood that A1GP Holdings, being the parent company of A1GP Operations, is laying claim to the 25 Ferrari-powered cars, which are due to touch down in Australia for testing at Queensland Raceway in the lead up to the October 22-25 Nikon SuperGP .
Freight company DOT is currently holding the open wheelers along with the series’ pace and medic cars in England because A1GP allegedly owes AU$6.5 million, while the liquidator of A1GP Operations has indicated it will produce evidence proving that company is the true owner of the cars.

Allthough an interesting article at bigpondsport, the photograph they are using to illistrated that the cars are impounded is a distortion, they are stored inside at Dunsfold aerodrome in Surrey south of England, not outside in the rain as in the photograph. This is the location of BBC's Top Gear programme. I have never seen Palm trees there before as in the photograph..
