Series Five (2009-2010) Entry list
Hopefully this isn't going to just be about who is in doubt, although seriously doubt there will be any new entries for season five.
First one in question is Team India, which seems to have been propped up in season four. Sad as in season three they seemed to be the best organised outfit on the grid, with a decent sponsor list and dedicated PR people at each race sending releases back to India.
Comment by Karthikeyan is that he hopes they can sort out their financial situation in order to be back in season five:

Or Great Britain if this rumoured Johnny Herbert-Chas Cole-Dan Clarke deal doesn't come off...
Not forgetting also that Canada are still in limbo, doubt they will be back next year.

AJ states there will be 25 cars at Surfers, that's five more than there were at Brands. Somehow I don't think so! I guess he has just plucked the rough number out of thin air while speaking to a journalist.
Also having a car from a particular country does not guarantee live (or any TV coverage). A1GP has not been broadcast in China recently. So he is wrong on that point too.

Would have thought Team OZ in doubt as they are a Lyndhurst team (A1 funded)with no real sponsorship. Add Brazil to that long list!

Kiwi, whenever official A1GP people talk about the series they always say they have 25 cars on the grid and have done since day one - seems they are stuck in 2005  .

Looks like NZL are looking more likely to stay in. Not sure how it could be run more efficiently than before though, unless perhaps the season is two rounds long (being sarcastic)?

I'd say, based on what we know now: Australia, Netherlands, Malaysia and USA.

And judging by their sponsoring and entry in the Indy Lights, I am very sure Brazil will be back too.

Karthikeyan seems fairly confident for India ( link)... and he also says A1 has a title sponsor for the upcoming season?

Naming right sponsor for the Aussie round does a runner... http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=851241
