Brits on Pole

A1GP series leader and former GP2 racer Adam Carroll is to appear at Wembley later this month as part of the Race of Champions’ inaugural Team Ireland.

How would you fancy the chance to test your driving skills against the likes of Andy Priaulx, Adam Carroll, Tom Kristensen or Louise Goodman? The opportunity is yours for £300 if you sign up for a charity karting event taking place at this year’s Autosport International show.

Team Ireland will spend Christmas as A1GP championship leaders after Adam Carroll converted his Sepang feature race pole position into victory.

It was business as usual for defending A1GP champion Neel Jani and Indycar star Marco Andretti in the sprint race at Sepang, Malaysia, as the Swiss star won from pole and the American took out two rivals in a spectacular crash.

Team GBR and the Irish will again be locked together on the A1GP grid, qualifying first and second in Sepang for tomorrow’s feature race, and sixth and seventh for the sprint.

Double podium scoring Danny Watts is definitely back in the car for the British team in the latest round of the international A1GP series, due to be held at Malaysia’s Sepang circuit this weekend

Britain and Ireland each grabbed a pair of podiums as A1GP visited China - but it was the Irish who came off better, Adam Carroll winning the sprint race while Danny Watts saw victory in the feature race slip away in the pitstops.

The British and Irish teams staked out the front row for A1GP’s two races in China tomorrow, Ireland’s Adam Carroll taking pole in the sprint race, then Team GBR’s Danny Watts qualifying top for the feature race with Carroll beside him.

Finally, after the months of delays and disappointments, the Union Flag is again lapping with the rest of the A1GP field as Team GBR takes to the track in Chengdu, China.

A1GP’s Team GBR has called in an experienced pair of hands for its first race in Chengdu, China from November 7 - and, with no opportunity to test the car before flying there, that’s about the only good news.
