    Think I might stay up to watch this.
    Narrow track in a lot of places could see a few off's during both races.

    C'mon Team Ireland and Adam.

    What the hell is going on with the anti-stall in the pits, Carrol is down to second because of it.

    ARRRGGGHHHH! I missed the bloody thing and I'm absolutely raging, especially seeing as I've got no-one to blame but myself! :mad: I completely misread the broadcast times on the A1GP website, I thought the coverage was due to start at 3.30 but that was actually the finishing time of the coverage (well, it actually finished a little bit later than that)! I fired up the live stream at 3.20, all ready to settle down and watch what i hoped would be another victory for Team Ireland, only to find the top 3 drivers getting ready to go up onto the podium! Absolutely kicking myself here for making such a stupid mistake! :mad: I'll definitely take more care in checking the times in future and not make such a basic error again, that's for sure!

    Great weekend for Team Ireland again, though. Two poles, winning the sprint race and finishing second in the feature (which should have been a win too if it wasn't for that problem in the pit stop with the anti-stall). Carroll seems to have really gotten to grips with this new car and it seems to really suit his driving style, and the team have been doing an awesome job as well this season. Ireland have got to be favourites now to take the title.

    Roll on South Africa and Kyalami! :D

    I think Adam overcooked his tyres chasing the Swiss car and then when given the opportunity with the safety car he couldn't get anymore out of the car/tyres. His 3rd or 4th lap after his second pitstop was a good 6-7 tenths quicker than Switzerland. I do believe that he could have held Jani off if the anti-stall didn't kick in.

    I haven't been a fan of A1 in the past, watched it when it started a few years ago, didn't really like it. Since then I've stopped watching F1. Seen the Irish were leading and watched the last race in New Zealand. Have to say I really enjoyed it, has a bit more excitement than F1, looking to the South Africa GP, hope Adam can keep up the good form.
