Mystery · 29 Sep 2006, 21:45 (Ref:1723364)

Wonderful performance by Hinchcliffe - I really think he's an amazing prospect. Manning looks like he can do this in his sleep judging by that time on 1 flying lap, but it really can't be that easy can it?

France, Malaysia & Australia all need to improve, but nice to see lots of new names up towards the front.

cos · 29 Sep 2006, 23:11 (Ref:1723390)

The new rule that one organisation can't run more than 2 teams should open the field up some more (i.e. no more DAMS whitewash!).

Just for reference, here's who's running what franchise this year...

DAMS: France, RSA
ADR: Australia
ISR/Charouz: Brazil, Czech Republic
WSR: Singapore, USA
Performance: Pakistan
Racing for Holland: Netherlands
Carlin: Lebanon
Ginzanhi: Italy
Arena: India, Greece
Super Nova: Germany, New Zealand
Astromega: China
JVA: Canada

All others have looked towards in-house custom squad to run their team.

mabs_nsx · 30 Sep 2006, 01:20 (Ref:1723428)

I don't know who most of these drivers are. Where are most of them from? GP2?

Why is Team Australia still slow when they have a good driver? Italy are also slow

Daisy · 30 Sep 2006, 09:47 (Ref:1723543)

Live timing is here.

A few from GP2, others from WSR, EuroF3, Asian F3 etc.

Oz look to be running a bit better now. Italy are slow because for whatever reason they've selected a bunch of unknowns to drive and ignoring some of the decent GP2 guys like Bruni and Pantano.

Go_For_Pole · 30 Sep 2006, 10:39 (Ref:1723579)

Greece will most likely qualify with Kaitatzis and race with Papafilippou and Kaitatzis

South Africa take pole ahead of Mexico, France, Germany, Switzerland and GB.
Full results here.

Last2LiftOff · 30 Sep 2006, 14:47 (Ref:1723654)

South Africa, wow, not too many predictions saw that coming. Mystery had them fifth in the feature race, about as close as I can see (could have missed one though). http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....13&postcount=9

Outta nowhere.....

Garson007 · 30 Sep 2006, 14:58 (Ref:1723659)

Which team is running Switzerland?

BTW, you have to love the Chinese guy's name! He's going pretty good too.

They lost DAMS to South Africa so boss Max Welti has put together a new 'in-house' team to run the franchise.

strider · 30 Sep 2006, 21:03 (Ref:1723878)

I shall be interested to see how the races go tomorrow.

When you look at those times, it was Mexico and France that were the most consistent over all four runs.

Last weekend someone who should know told me that the whole affair would be much more competitive this year. He got that one right, didn't he?

Fiorentina 1 · 30 Sep 2006, 23:46 (Ref:1723977)

Is that Adrain Zaugg kid that good? I guess so. The Red Bull F1 guys better look out because with him and Vetel on the Red Bull line-up, they better start kicking some a$$ or they might get Kliened....

BTW, who is Confu Cheng? I love his name and he seems to be going pretty well!

Last2LiftOff · 1 Oct 2006, 00:01 (Ref:1723985)

His bio from the McLaren Mercedes web site: http://www.mclaren.com/theteam/cheng_congfu.php

dazbaz_99 · 1 Oct 2006, 09:23 (Ref:1724229)

Looking forward to the race's today, and if its wet it could really mix things up. Hopefully with his vast single seater experience Darren and Team GB should be in with a shout of victory today.

Kebab · 1 Oct 2006, 09:32 (Ref:1724236)

So much for GB having great race pace then. France look like they may move forward in the feature race, as do Holland

The Hrt Kid · 1 Oct 2006, 09:44 (Ref:1724245)

is there a website where i will be able to watch the race live?

Kebab · 1 Oct 2006, 09:51 (Ref:1724252)

I just watched the live timing on the results page of www.a1gp.com

dazbaz_99 · 1 Oct 2006, 11:00 (Ref:1724295)

Looking at the results the Sprint Race was a bit of a proccesion. Will find out later when its on TV.

nev · 1 Oct 2006, 11:02 (Ref:1724297)

When can we see some overtaking Darren !! Seems that all that experience has left his right foot. wonder what excuse Priaulx will hve for that lame performance.
