After the end of Formula 1 2008, if you don’t want to get yourself into the Racing Withdrawal syndrome, try A1 GP. This is the 4th season and this is the first time that the A1 GP teams will be Ferrari engine built based on F12004 that Michael Schumcher won dominantly in 2004.
What’s more interesting for this season (apart for Team Malaysia won the opening round of the race in Zandvort, Netherlands and now leading the championship table…), you can watch all the action LIVE on the A1GP official webpage itself. By going to A1GP.com and click on LIVE VIDEO STREAM, you will reach this page
Choose whatever video resolution that want, and voila, A1 GP race on your computer. I thought this is so cool. With TV coverage for A1 GP rather limited, this is what I long for. I watched the Chengdu Race here and so can you for the remaining of the season.
A1 Malaysian GP is coming in 2 weeks time and with team A1 Malaysia is leading the championship, be sure to fill the Sepang circuit (for those who can) or go to this website (for those who can’t go to Sepang) to give your support to the team. The team has improved quite a lot and Fairuz Fauzy definitely improved his driving a whole lot.
If you can’t get yourself too close to F1 because of the price, give yourself an A1 GP treat. This is when you can get yourself as close possible to the pit garage and on track activities. For those who are in Malaysia, go to PitStop.com under A1 GP forum thread, for more info. You will be getting the experience of the lifetime. At least I did….when I watched the A1 GP Malaysia qualifying live from the Team Malaysia pit garage!!!! How cool is that.
Here’s the snippet of what Flora and I experienced…..
