"we can't get TV rights so nobody gets to watch a race".
That's a bit.... sad.

That'aa bit of a poor reason to cancel an event. There are plenty of countries who hold international motor sport activities and don't have any TV rights to them or don't show the action. Just seems a disappointment to the fans of A1 who want to see a close championship and want to see it on as many circuits as possible

i think its a bit of a cover up

a good source tells me that there is all kinds of problems with A1GP at the moment

shame, because some of the racing is excellent

Not being a big A-1 fan, that still sucks, races being deleted just because a deal cannot be reached. How hard did everyone try before throwing the towel in.

I have watched every round of this years A1GP and both mydelf and my wife are enjoying it a lot.

It's on SPEED if you're wondering Rob, they air the races on a Wednesday afternoon.

Well I must say I watched some of it last year and was anything but impressed by it!

I will also say that I have not watched any of it this year, so shouldn't really be commenting on it I suppose, but hey I'm glad it appears to be worth the watch!

Oh Stradlin just so you know, some F1 fans can be quite subjective about other forms of motorsport, in fact there is a rumour that some of the fans even watch different genres of motorsport!!!

I would agree with that statement.

Anyone who says the racing in A1GP is no good clearly didn't watch the Durban round last year - best race of the season in any formula, by a long way!
