Miller, Oreovicz, and Cavin said the race did not make sense for any of the teams outside of Craig Gore.
Shame for A1GP. It was a neat idea at first by the Arab sheik but the business model never made sense (business models not making sense - seems to apply across all racing, but when a person like me brings up common sense when it comes to prize money vs. operating costs on Ten Tenths and that the two have to be in line, I get shouted down). And then they went and made it far worse by getting a ridiculous Ferrari engine deal for no return when a bunch of Cosworths or whatever would have worked just as well for less cost.
