A Welcome Sign for A1 Grand Prix
Only good news is coming out of the UK and Brands Hatch, site of the opening round of the A1 Grand Prix Championship.
The first ever A1 Grand Prix race will be the biggest event in recent years for UK circuit Brands Hatch after ticket sales exceeded that of regular crowd puller, the World Superbike Championship.The A1 GP stages its debut race at the circuit just outside London, on Sunday.
Interest in the series has now sent sales soaring well in excess of the 60,000 mark
I confess to loving the nationalistic slant the series brings to racing. But I have to wonder, will this also bring “Racing Hooligans” to the track, similar to soccer? This sounds like it’s tailor made for NASCAR to take over. Let the rubbin’ begin!
Hmmm… I hadn’t thought of the soccer…opps sorry “football” hooligan angle.
I should think with their extreme lack of functioning brain cells the football hooligans would have a hard time finding Brands Hatch let alone cause any type of problem on race day.
Lets face it, if Arsenal or Manchester United changed from their normal venues the hooligans would be lost and perpetually going in circles like lab rats in a wheel.
