Ian, of the drivers available at the moment we are IMO getting the best drivers that are available due to their contractial obligations with the teams they will be racing with throughout the regular season. A1 GP is doing the best it can to get the best drivers it can find into the series, and that list of drivers I feel is pretty strong, probably around the same level as GP2 or Champ Cars. IMO.
Next year the series will be bigger and we will probably have a even better crop of drivers than we do now. Its also important to remember that nations like Indonesia and India and Lebanon dont have the motorsport history that many of us European and American nations have and therefore dont perhaps have the variety of drivers to choose from that we have in Europe and America. I think that quite often people forget this is A1 GP's maiden season.
