South African Adrian Zaugg  scored a dominant victory in the opening sprint race during the 2007/08 A1-GP season opener at Zandvoort in Holland, ahead of Loic Duval of Team France.  Perhaps the hardest charging car on track was the Team GB car driven by Oliver Jarvis, who was mired in mid pack after passing several cars on his way from the back to seventh place.

Jarvis and Zaugg were once again the stars of Sunday’s feature race with Jarvis taking the lead from Zaugg after a round of pit stops and never looked like being challenged again. Former Indy 500 winner Buddy Rice was frankly less tham impressive in the Team USA finishing last in the sprint race and a distant 13th in the feature event.

After the first round the Top 10 Teams are as follows:

1. South Africa
2. Great Britain
3. France
4. Mexico
5. Switzerland
6. Netherlands
7. Ireland
8. Germany
9. New Zealand
10. Czech Republic

A third place podium finish in the A1GP feature race at Shanghai, China was sufficient for Germany to secure the 2006/2007 “World Cup of Motorsports.” The race victory went to New Zealand ahead of a hard charging Great Britain team. The series moves on to Brands Hatch in the UK for the season finale in a couple of weeks.

New team driver Oliver Jarvis steered TeamGB to their first A1-GP victory in the feature race at Mexico during the lastest round of the World Cup of Motorsports over the weekend. Team USA although visibly quicker after the pit stops wasn’t able to catch jarves anbd finished a solid second ahead of South Africa. The previously dominant German team managed only ninth with their new driver, while sprint race winner, Alex Yoong of Malaysia came home in fifth place behind Italy.
