was it India's Karun Chandok? he drives in both these series.

Could be Will Power, Toccacello,Ryo Fukuda they are the only ones who drive in both series. Karun was not racing in this race (Estoril) so couldn't have been him

No, Karun was in the WSR

This massive F1 fan actually likes A1! I really enjoyed the BH race (apart from the fact that Jos drove my guy of the road). The series has potential to become huge.

Will not touch F1 of course, but then it was never ment to.

Looking forward to many more great races.

well said.......i used to be an F1 nutcase........from about '91-98....then jsut lost interest.......A1GP has sparked my interest in racing again.......

A the series gathers momentum maybe even this season but more over the next 2-3 years, i think it will be huge as Hein rightly says....

with an Indian and chinese team, thats 2/5 of the worlds population for sponsors to reach alone....then with all the other teams, more or less the whole of the world audience covered.....if the tv goes terrestrial and not just pay-tv, then it will be massive.......may even switch to a summer season...or even better, run all year round.........who knows....

Bahrain, Turkey and china amongst others are all now F1 dates.....

where next? india looks likely with narain in f1 and know a a1 team....it can only be good for the sport....make it more accessible.

Give Michael Vergers some testing time & then let him loose in A1GP - that would be interesting.

It's a long time ago he raced a single seater, there are other Dutch drivers with recent single seater experience.

I think it was Power (about 99% sure).
