Peno should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Where did you hear that Jota ran Switzerland?

I also think Greece were run in-house & not by Arena despite what wikipedia said.

I like the concept of A1 by it has major fawls in this case

Greece was definatelly run by Arena, saw it with my own eyes at Brno.

Poor Mr Earle got his crew at China but no money, no owners, no drivers ever arrived. How typical

I can vouch for Jaysalv and say that Sam Hignett and his team DID run the swiss team this year and ran the russians for a while last year.

Yes, but that does not mean there is no license.

The only thing I heard about this is that Lu*s Vicente was somehow involved. He was also in the Portugal and Brazil franchises.

Who knows...you also need the money/team to run the car. Maybe one of those two is not as easy to find as was expected!

How much for buying a license?
How much does it cost to run a team?

could be still a good investment to buy a franchise and the sell it when the championship is up

Look what was F1 20years ago and what is now

they have thought of that meta4, licence varies in cost according to how much it seems worth in the future to each company, hence the gb licence was a lot more than the greek licence etc

what about the cost to run the team (without crash expenses )

Does the car belong to the team or to the organizator?

I would say it costs 1-2m$ to run the team?

I think the car belongs to Lola, and is leased by A1GP. Same thing with the Zytek engines.

A1 GP doesn't really own anything.

The cars and engines are leased from Lola and Zytek. The garage boarding is bought by the teams from Showtrax. Ohlins own the dampers. Avon own the tyres.

A1 is in big debt, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

I can't comment about anything else, but Avon (or rather Cooper) sell the tyres to A1GP, who then distribute them amongst the teams.

Well I dont know that. But a lot of the teams are financed by A1GP (Tony Teixeria).

They are trying to build fanbase's in "non-motorsport" countries, which is why obscure countries like Lebanon, Singapore, Pakistan etc are in it.
