There are still more than five months to go before the second A1 Grand Prix series kicks off at Zandvoort, Holland on 1 October, but at least seven or eight countries are lining up their bids to be part of the action, including aspiring teams from countries in Europe, Asia and South America.

While the identity of the nations competing in A1 Grand Prix Series Two remains undisclosed, so does the race calendar, save for the opening round in Holland. “We plan to have between 10 and 12 rounds again,” says Chief Operating Officer David Clare, “but we’re in discussion with 17-18 potential venues at the moment. I reckon that we will probably introduce two to three new venues in addition to Zandvoort joining us. There may even be a night race, too.

“The calendar for Series Two ought to be announced in the next few weeks and all I can say for definite right now is that Series Two is going to be every bit as global as Series One.”
