:confused:

I'm guessing it's a typo!

I would love to watch this series, so I'm going to send an e-mail to Speed TV and TSN over here, maybe get someone looking into it. Motorsport fans everywhere would watch it. It would be tremendously competitive, I think.

Dutton · 4 Nov 2004, 18:55 (Ref:1144982)

Nope, it wasn't a typo.

I will watch it and am thoroughly looking forward to the prospect. What I was saying was that I will be watching for entertainmnent, NOT because I think it will the best racing series in the world ever.

Would the championship be a won of similar to the BTCC masters or a series of races?

RUSTY!!!!

Danner and Johanssen are the only one signed up as far as i know and you think Alesi would be rusty.

Luke - it's planned to be a series of 4 or 5 races.

kickstart · 15 Nov 2004, 09:55 (Ref:1153789)

Just had a peek at their website and one of the tracks mentioned is the GP circuit at Brands Hatch - count me in for that.
I really hope that this series does actually happen.

Dutton · 15 Nov 2004, 13:08 (Ref:1153935)

Definitely, kickstart.

luke · 15 Nov 2004, 16:53 (Ref:1154197)

Brands Hatch GP would be mega, a possible support race at the Monaco GP? now that would be great.

I have a gut feeling of Zanvoort and Brno.

Big Mac · 16 Nov 2004, 05:12 (Ref:1154691)

Support race @ Monaco?? I wish!! But Bernie wouldn't want the oldies showing up the current mob...

Dutton · 16 Nov 2004, 10:02 (Ref:1154810)

Well Big Mac, you are assuming that would actually be possible to quantify. It really wouldn't, in my opinion.

mcurtis26 · 16 Nov 2004, 11:48 (Ref:1154857)

It will be nice if this series comes off. However, I do have a few reservations. If it does happen, I hope the racing is good, rather than just demonstration races. I've always felt it's best to stay retired if and when you retire e.g. Alan Jones' return with Haas was a poor shadow of his former glories, and we're now 20 years further on.

Redlake27 · 16 Nov 2004, 12:20 (Ref:1154870)

It hinges on funding. I'm not sure what brand names would want to fund a very expensive series for drivers who aren't household names. (After all, most current F1 fans won't have heard of Danner or Johansson).

Unless Saga come up with a big paycheck, I can't see this happening.

There are plenty of other places where a former driver could come out and drive...... Historics, Thoroughbred F1, EuroBOSS, a Sauber, GT racing, celeb cars.

Dutton · 16 Nov 2004, 12:34 (Ref:1154880)

It could well be part of some grander corporation plan, they have quite disturbing visions at times.

Anwway, in reference to this isolated case: I think all those taking part will give it a good try, they remain competitive people.

If it doesn't occur, it would be a shame but life would go on. I'd like to see it, would be interesting.

Interesting that there will be qualifying races on the Saturday and the main race on the Sunday,should be good.

josvandeperre · 6 Jan 2005, 15:45 (Ref:1194559)

Somewhere on the web today is an announcement of a year's delay due to funding issues.....presumably file this series away with that funny football series that remains pending finance despite all the interest shown

Kicking-back · 6 Jan 2005, 15:53 (Ref:1194563)

I think the fact that A1GP is a winter series has scuppered these plans - probably for the best.

Patrese256 · 6 Apr 2005, 07:12 (Ref:1271496)

The series was officially launched at the Durban motor show on the weekend of the 25th March, with Rene Arnoux doing a couple of demonstration runs. Alan Jones & Emerson Fittipaldi were also there.

Good news, that.

luke · 4 Aug 2005, 17:41 (Ref:1372136)

I cannot wait for this, will be great for someone like me who couldn't see these lengends race live.

Dutton · 4 Aug 2005, 18:39 (Ref:1372206)

All good.

I too am thoroughly looking forward to this, have been for sometime.
