A1 GP – Max Mosley’s vision for Formula 1

So for anyone who believes that Max Mosley's plan of bringing standard engines to F1 is a good idea, I present to you the A1 GP aka "The World Cup Of Motorsport". The A1 GP is a open-wheel race series that brings teams representing different nations together through competition.

Initially 12 race series, now down to 8, utilizing a beautiful Lola spec chassis, slick tires, Ferrari engine, and running at some famous, if not somewhat forgotten by F1 tracks around the world, as well as some other well known, but non-F1 tracks.

The downside seems to be that no-one cares.

The A1 GP would truly be the world cup of motorsport, if that meant no one watched world cup events. Even during the off-season for almost all other forms of motorsport, the A1 GP series cannot find fans, interesting sponsors, or even a complete schedule. (They still list an event as TBD even though it is only months away).

If F1 goes with a spec package, I would imagine that it would look a lot like this, except for KERS, and a useless medal based points system. Check out some of the A1 GP action below.
