The history of the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport

On 30 March 2004, A1 Grand Prix, a brand new concept in international motorsport was launched to the world’s press at the prestigious Jumeira Beach hotel in Dubai. Series’ founder Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum unveiled his vision for an exciting yet accessible sport where all countries would compete on a level playing field. From this spark, grew A1GP, a series with deliberately equalised technology and national teams, racing their country flag in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport.

From March 2004 onwards, Sheikh Maktoum and his business partner, Tony Teixeira, set about building the team that would bring this exciting concept to reality. British firms Lola International and Zytek Engineering were appointed to develop the chassis and engine respectively, based on the initial drawings of Sheikh Maktoum himself while US company Cooper Tires was chosen as the official A1GP tyre supplier. By July of that year, the first generation of A1GP race cars was ready to be unveiled.

Before any of the teams arrive at the circuit, it is the responsibility of A1GP Operations to organise the safe arrival of the cars and begin unloading the A1GP freight. There are on average 20 people at each circuit solely dedicated to unloading the A1GP freight. This comprises of three A1GP Operations staff, a local customs co-ordinator, two airload masters, four freight masters, four fork lift drivers and various truck drivers. It takes 40 trips from airport to circuit to fully load and unload the A1GP freight. The cars usually arrive at the race track the week before the race and set up in the paddock commences on the Monday before the race weekend. Set up takes approximately three days.

Once the racing has finished and all cars have been through scrutineering and returned to the pits, the teams begin packing the cars and equipment into the containers and car racks manufactured to A1GP's own design specifications. It takes more than 20 car racks to transport all the cars, more than 20 containers to carry team's equipment and four containers to transport A1GP Operations equipment and spares.

It takes approximately seven days for all the freight to arrive at the new venue, from loading the containers to arriving at the new circuit. Any damaged equipment and if necessary, engines and race cars are flown back to the UK for repair between races. A1GP is responsible for all organisation, including the necessary documentation such as customs clearance, carnets, etc. At the end of the season, the cars return to their home at the A1 Technology Centre in Silverstone, UK.

The race pit stop must take place between laps eight and 20 and a maximum of seven mechanics are permitted to change all four wheels and tyres. There’s no limit to the number of times a car can stop - but of course it’s slower driving through the pit lane than racing on the track.

- P* l+ k9 A3 \) \* p; wPit stops not only need to be quick they also need to be strategically planned for the perfect point in the race. The team need to plan exactly when the best time is to pit - depending on the strategy of competitors and traffic on the track. As the pit lane is a busy, confined area, a pit lane speed limit is enforced. A driver will press the pit limiter as the car crosses a line at the entry of the pit lane, which will quickly bring the car down to a speed of 60km/h. If a car exceeds the speed limit, the team will be fined and the driver will incur a drive through penalty. Pit stops therefore, make up an integral part of the race strategy.

There are two types of start procedure in motor racing, a rolling start and a standing start. A1GP is unique it that it includes both of these. The Sprint race begins with a rolling start and the Feature race starts with a standing start. . h+ T* V- k! m2 K  G

Thirty minutes before the start of each race, the cars will leave the pits to cover a formation lap and stop in their grid position at the end of the lap. Fifteen minutes before the start of the race the pit exit is closed. Any car that has not left the pit lane by this time must start the race from the pit lane exit and wait until the rest of the field has left the grid, regardless of their original grid position.

The start of the race is announced by signals shown 10 minutes, five minutes, three minutes, one minute and 15 seconds before the start of the formation lap, each of which is accompanied by an audible warning.

' O- |4 M' ?! J/ b" Z. dWhen the green flag is shown, the cars begin the formation lap with the pole position driver leading behind the pace car. Overtaking on the formation lap is not allowed. Drivers may only overtake if they are delayed when leaving their grid position, but still managed to get away before the rest of the field left the grid. Under these circumstances a car may overtake another car for the purposes of re-establishing the original starting order.

The Sprint race begins with a rolling start. The pace car pulls off the track into the pit lane at the end of the lap, leaving the car which qualified on pole position leading the field. At this point the car on pole position has an advantage, as it controls the speed of the pack as they approach the start/finish line. The driver leading the cars can reduce the speed, bunching up the rest of the field before suddenly accelerating away to start the race. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb& p, c5 a) P: v& [+ m

At the start of the Feature race, the cars return to the grid at the end of the formation lap, stopping on their respective grid positions but keeping their engines running. A standing start follows with the starting signal given by means of the starting lights. Once all the cars have come to a halt on the grid, the five second signal will be shown and five seconds later the starter will switch on the red light(s). At any time between 4 and seven seconds after the red light(s) become visible, the Feature race will be started by extinguishing the red light(s).公仔箱論壇! ?0 O6 I% R6 \/ w2 O  ~

On track there are a few key regulations. A car’s rear light must be illuminated at all times when running on wet-weather tyres. Should it become necessary to stop a race because the track is blocked by an accident or because weather or other conditions make it dangerous to continue, the Clerk of the Course will order a red flag to be shown at the start/finish line. Simultaneously, red flags will be shown at all Marshals' posts.

Drivers must also wear protective clothing and a neck restraint, which supports the head and neck in the event of an accident. 5.39.217.77:8898' j. w( l- g. k
