I am glad the 8 series of A1 entries have generated some interests and debates on the merits and demerits of A1 GP in particular and motor sports in general. This entry will close the chapter. I need to move on to new subject.
Brief Technical Comparison between F1 and A1 cars:

A1 GP

Max Engine Speed 9000 rpm
Power Output 550 bhp Transmissions 6 gears + reverse Manual

Personally speaking, I support the move to start the A1 championship. F1 has always been the high-end of motorsport, limited to only those with huge financial resources. In other words, monopolised by only the rich companies. A1 will provide the alternative for F1 aspirants apart from being the breeding ground for future F1 drivers. How effective is A1? Difficult to say as comparing A1 to F1 is just like comparing a new born baby to an adult.
