Well, who the hell do you expect to represent countries such as Lebanon and Pakistan??? It's the nature of a "World Cup" that some teams will be weaker than others - in this case some countries like China and Lebanon will not have the luxury of having many experienced drivers to choose from. What's wrong with these less experienced "underdogs" having the chance to occasionally upstage countries with a long motorsport heritage?

A1 GP is something refreshing and new, doesn't compete with other series for drivers/sponsors/teams as it runs in the traditional off-season, and produces some great racing. As in any series (GP2, World Series by Renault etc) there is a range of driver abilities, but only a moron wouldn't recognise the talent in the field - GP2 frontrunners Premat, Lapierre, Speed, Jani; British F3 champions Piquet (also a GP2 winner), Kerr and Parente; ex-F3000 frontrunners Enge and Toccacelo... etc etc.

As for mbathshah, it's painfully obvious forum posting will drop when the series has a break of a month and a half!
