Hold on, I thought that a lot of the problem regarding the 08-09 season dates was that A1GP was starting to ask venues for something like 25% of an F1 sanction fee, simply because they have to recoup the massive startup costs.
OK, it might be cheaper, but it's still a heck of a lot of money.
Until the (
paying) spectator numbers warrant it, a European venue would still baulk at those sort of figures. Why 2 rounds for China? - government money - same old path as F1.
