A1 GP Brands Hatch

[The Warden]

I see the "down under" teams are showing a bit of ANZAC spirit and doing us all proud.

The grid for the first sprint race has New Zealand (Jonny Reid) starting 2nd and Australia (Will Power) 4th out of a 25 car field on the famous Brands Hatch circuit in the UK.

I'm hoping this open wheeler series will give us the passing and varied racing we haven't seen for years in F1.

Cheers,

Gordie.

Yet another reason to get Foxtel... The don't show A1GP on FTA... or the A-League either...
FTA sucks...

Mistake on my part the NZ car will be driven by Matt Haliday.
