Of Motorsport and Grapes

I'm not the only one who thinks that the best driver in F1 didn't win the Driver's Championship. See here. We're one big bunch of sour grapes!

Anyway, if you think F1 sounds more like the first contestant in a beauty pageant, you might want to check out the brand new A1 Grand Prix. Backed by the rich folks in Dubai, it's touted as the World Cup of Motorsport with teams from 25 nations participating.

What does 'A1' mean? The FAQ says:

The name 'A1' encapsulates the two key aspects of the World Cup of Motorsport, unity and excellence.

The letter 'A', being the first letter of the majority of the world's continents (Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Australasia, Antarctica and Europe) represents the world and its population. The number '1' signifies the unity between them -- All as One, One World.

In most languages, 'A1' is a term used to describe the best. A1 Grand Prix is the pinnacle of driver skill and national pride. Each nation's best driver will race for the pride of their nation to win the first ever World Cup of Motorsport.

That's the biggest load of bull I've read today, haha.

It's showing on StarSports, but I've not caught it. Might do so when the F1 season ends.

Ok, I've talked too much about F1 and motorsport. I should stop now.
