The A1 runs from 2009 to Surfers Paradise. Rock 'N Roll I can only say. For A1, the hammer is a thing because they go in the V8 Supercars, the Australian is by far most popular racing series, the other appears to the A1 and the financing of the next season to move into healthy channels. It is still not quite sure what will happen to the A1, but the deal with Surfers Paradise is an important thing ever. I'm looking forward to the first chicane next October. In other racing classes, however, there are just not so good news:
GM almost bankrupt, NASCAR is looking for other manufacturers
Addendum, 21:36 h: It was just reported on CNBC to get the "Big 3" (GM, Ford, Chrysler), a state subsidy of 25 billion dollars will. It helps if you believe the representatives of the companies, possibly by late 2009. On the following statements, however, changes very little. The deal is also just announced that it is not adopted.
GM boss Rick Wagoner has said it clear on Monday on CNBC: If sales continue to fall away like that, and if no money comes from the government, then go to the store from the turn of the cash. This means that you're broke, but not bankrupt. In other words, you still have a book value together to pay for itself from the immobile objects such as factories, land, etc., but it is no more money liquid. In the U.S., it is possible, a kind of bankruptcy to register, but this does not lead to a dissolution of the company, but to restructure the entire company. It has, for example, the airlines Delta and Northwest behind. Both have continued to work normally during the restructuring, while a receiver is sorted in the background along with the new board's finances.

At Chrysler, it probably looks like it wobbles and even Dodge. NASCAR is expected from the well so that you can lose a manufacturer. But when two would get off, do not be worried, so Brian France in a long article, the question would be whether the NASCAR could take an exit from Chevy really. At the same time you have probably looked to see if other manufacturers are interested in NASCAR. I once heard that BMW has responded, but no one has confirmed to me. What is certain is that Honda squint with one eye on NASCAR. Crisis point, her crisis - similar to the 300 million estimated by Mercedes sunk every year in Formula One, Norbert Haug is absolutely right - get the money for this range, seen by nearly 1 billion people every week to read or be, with normal marketing activities can not be achieved. This is true in NASCAR just because the sums are sponsors here, because of its low cost, relatively small. In other words, as long as Dodge, Chevy, they will remain in the Sprint Cup.
On the subject but still follows an article with the question "The future of NASCAR." I would like to wait for the development of the next few weeks.
NASCAR: Chaos at Red Bull
The idea to throw out Allmendinger and Scott Speed reinzuholen was probably not a stroke of genius. While Allmendinger moves to different teams in the Top 20, after driving speed and fell out of the top 35, which is a rather silly to end of season thing, because the ranking of the top 35 also applies the first six races in 2009. So you have speed set out once and it was going to take Mark Martin, who has been out of work for this year. But can not start because Chevy has vetoed. You do not want a Chevy drivers just a Toyota in the top 35 picks. Whatever it says something about how much you like the Red Bull team. Now you wonder at Red Bull, Brian Vickers and speed if you can not swap cars. Anyway - the problem has been attributed to RB itself. Allmendinger out, Mike Skinner in, Skinner out, Allmendinger in, Allmendinger out, pure speed. One can make the unrest in the team itself well.
- Furniture Row Racing will participate in the coming year only at selected races. It ran for FRR this year not bad. Nemechek was able to qualify in most cases (31 of 35 races) and was even on the pole at Talladega. But with FRR, we prefer now to respond to the crisis, to be overwhelmed by it as possibly 2009. Compete in what race you are, is not out.
- Sam Hornish, Penske maintains and secures a sponsorship package for certain races of AAA. The rest was sponsored by "Penske Rentals" more or less himself.

For me as a little A1GP fan is like a wicked story. I really hope that the series has a future. The last race in China was quite ok and I like the new racing car!
The Top35 of the season are only five points in the first race the following year, however this does not change the fact that Scott Speed is facing a difficult season. The more or less thrown out of AJ Allmendinger came at a time, unfortunately, came to the former Formula-pilot just really gets going. For me, a serious mistake, which was obvious from the start. Speed should initially treat a full season in the Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup teams with spare capacity (probably harder to find) should quickly consider Allmendinger to undertake in 2009.
Also stuffed Roger Penske probably not only their own money into the team of Sam Hornish Jr. with the # 77 In addition to AAA Hornish is sponsored in 2009 as it did in 2008 by Mobil 1.
like every A1GP theme I must also add my mustard! xD for me is simply impossible to imagine the series. I have been following since the beginning of it and was impressed even then by opening hatch into brands! and really as a junior formula, I do not want to see them ....
Now the deal is with surfers, of course, awesome! if not endporno! xD
longlife A1GP!!
Just plain gross which would pump the United States allegedly in the company -. -
