Radio A1GP will broadcast on 87.7 FM.

If you mean the CART fencing, that was taken down from most points and has not been replaced as of today. The usual debris fence that has been there for years is there but no the extra CART fence.

I willbe at Brands on Friday and Sunday as I have a gunfight on Saturday.

**Asp** · 20 Sep 2005, 19:54 (Ref:1412538)

A quick merge with the post that was moved here...

spottymarshal · 21 Sep 2005, 19:17 (Ref:1413330)

I will be there Marshalling in Orange on saturday and sunday really looking forward to it now.

forzaf1 · 21 Sep 2005, 20:11 (Ref:1413376)

I see they have put a foot bridge over cooper straight linking the south bank with the paddock.

That is a temp bridge erected just for this meeting. It went up between 4pm last night and 7:30 this morning

muzza4ever · 21 Sep 2005, 22:53 (Ref:1413508)

travelling down from Yorkshire Firday evening after work and then at track Sat & Sun - BBC News covered yesterday and claim an expected crowd of 50K - bring it on - reckon it's gonna be a good spectacle.

After the sad news of last weekend we need to see motorosport providing the thrills that we all want to see.

spottymarshal · 21 Sep 2005, 23:09 (Ref:1413520)

Just watched the event preview on Sky Sports and it certainly looks an amazing series.

So which country do you think will win at Brands?

Rockmunky · 22 Sep 2005, 17:58 (Ref:1414186)

Not long to go now, tickets are right next to me, and it's great to see this series has got great support for it's first race, and long may it continue.

To be honest i have no idea about the winner at brands, as i haven't really seen who's looking strong and who isn't, though i've heard Great Britain has topped testing times consistently, so my money is on them.

paulzinho · 22 Sep 2005, 18:35 (Ref:1414208)

Got Mum to go and pick up my ticket today!!

Should be good, though Ive no idea where to watch from as it sounds like its going to be packed!!!

Gilles lives! · 22 Sep 2005, 23:07 (Ref:1414386)

Arriving Friday evening with family and friends at a proper campsite (no offence to the Brands one of course!) just up the road from the circuit. Will be going in for Saturday and Sunday. I have a around twenty racing virgins coming to witness a 'GP' for the first time on Sunday, so I hope that the sun shines and the racing is hot!

Certainly 25 big single seaters into Paddock on the first lap should be exiting

Minardi fan · 23 Sep 2005, 17:23 (Ref:1415013)

There'll be a Minardi fan lurking at Brands... If I get my ticket - didn't arrive today, so got to buy another on the gate then send the stubs back plus my tickets (ordered a month ago) back too. Idiots. Of course, it's not Brands' fault, nor Royal Mail's... Morons...

ascarmarshal · 23 Sep 2005, 17:28 (Ref:1415016)

I went today and the cars were awesome, when they got tack time. 3 reds in session 1 ( i got one incident on video) and 4 reds in session 4. The Chinese team seems to be the mobile chicane but has one of the best paint schemes as does the Russian Team. There are no competition numbers on the cars.

MGDavid · 23 Sep 2005, 18:33 (Ref:1415043)

slightly off topic, but does anyone know where / how I buy tickets for the Dubai round in December?
TIA

paulzinho · 23 Sep 2005, 18:47 (Ref:1415052)

Perhaps look on the A1 website www.a1gp.com?

MGDavid · 23 Sep 2005, 21:09 (Ref:1415106)

Nope, only Brands plus the next two races. They may be better than Bernie but still plenty of room for improvement.
:-(
PS - thanks for the link anyway...

Give the championship a chance. It has only been live for less than 24 hours.

So how are the officials supposed to identify the cars in observer reports, black flags etc.
