Automotive related: Who told me about the A1 series?

I saw some A1 racing Saturday night. Cool! The cars look smaller than F1
cars, but similar (it may have been the camera lenses, but they did look
stubbier, and the tires were HUGE by comparison!)

What a race! All the cars are the same, so it comes down to preparation,
skill and of course, luck to win the race.

just like the IRL whan it first started.

Is A1 the international team F1 style event?
With National rather than corporate teams, identical cars, control tyres
etc?

I've heard of it, but never seen it. Only the PPV sport channels here in
the UK, and I don't watch enough sport to pay for it.

It's on the Outdoor Life channel here in the States.

Pretty decent racing, Grand Prix type events, good drivers.

A young girl I know told me I drive like an old man

I told her, actually, I drive like Mario Andretti.
It's just that too many other people on the road
drive like Paul Tracy...

I'll tell you what movie I just finished that blew my mind: From Dust to
Glory. If you're into racing check this flick out. Great documentary on
the Baja 1000, gorgeous camera work.

I guess I will have to check the P2P networks, see if anyone captures it
and distributes MPGs of it?
Stick the season on a couple of DVDs and make a night of it.
