Start the thing up, cash out when it's running well, leave the problems for someone else to solve. I haven't had the opportunity to see any of the races on tv, but I consider it a shame and a loss for motor-sports fans when this sort of thing ends up in the tires, so to speak. Tough times.

He can market the series as his GreenPrixUSA concept in the same fashion that CART/Champ Car referred to itself as an American-based international championship. It would probably cost somewhere between GP2 and F2 for the team to run a full season. Recruit some international teams but use Newman Wachs Racing and John Edwards as headliners.

The venues are all sorted out. The team have already been working in factories for 2010 F1 cars. And Ferrari is involved ( I hope things have not changed after them not able to ramp up their production last year)in the project. If FOTA really wants to show FIA that its their governance that has led to mass exodus from F1, they can do so by running a rival series using A1GP setup. Does Ferrari has enough courage and backing for other teams to BernieMax FIA :-? Actually to look at it Perfect setup for FOTA to buy and start rival series. The venues are all sorted out.

Does Ferrari has enough courage and backing for other teams to BernieMax FIA :-?

They had some great racing, even if they were all Ferrari cars. Just stick a fork in A1GP. …its done. :( This is a real bummer, too. They had some great racing, even if they were all Ferrari cars.
