I would have thought Johnny Reid would qualify as a rookie under the new rules (assuming Matt Halliday is back in the cockpit for race duties), however great that Cunnigham gets his opportunity as well.
I went past the circuit this morning and all the walls were in place and they were finishing the catch fencing. By the afternoon roads were closed off and the work seemed to be finished. Tomorrow morning the road cars and bicycles will give way to A1GP cars...The track does seem narrow but no more so than Surfers Paradise Champcar circuit for example.
A1GP has been covered in the print media here and Beijing TV have been interviewing the China drivers and seat holder for the last hour that I've had the TV on. Plenty of people should therefore know about it so hopefully will be a sellout for a great weekend of racing.
