Inaugural A1 Grand Prix
September 2005
"The World Cup of Motorsport - Fusing the passion and patriotism of a world cup with the high
adrenalin thrills and spills of top-flight motor racing, A1 Grand Prix is a unique sporting
phenomenon. With deliberately equalised state-of-the-art single-seater cars, the racing
promises to be closer than anything seen before. More overtaking, more excitement, more exposure:
A1 GP."
A group of seveners attended the inaugural A1 Grand Prix at Brands Hatch in September 2005.

The aftermath of a collision between the
Lebanese and Italian cars at Paddock Hill Bend which resulted in the Lebanese car barrel-rolling
into the gravel and landing upside-down. The marshals, as ever, were very quick on the scene and
after a few heart-stopping moments the Lebanese driver was pulled from the wreckage and eventually
walked away to the medical car with a wave to the crowd. |

Despite the fact that the Lebanese car barrel-rolled
into the gravel, it is testament to the strength of the actual cars that drivers are able to walk away
from such horrific-looking accidents. |
