Unfortunately, the first major setback inevitably meant that the series would have to be postponed, and that's just what happened.
The new car has been under development with Ferrari for the past ten months or so - based on Ferrari's Formula One racing car design - and things had been going well. However, when test driver Patrick Friesacher was injured after a vital suspension component failed, it was back to the drawing board. The delay means that the start of the fourth season, which was originally scheduled for September 21 at the Mugello track in Italy, will now be pushed back to Zandvoort, Holland, for October 4, which was initially planned as the second race of the season.

I wish A1GP would go all out and allow active aero bits to the chassis. I'd be interested to see how much more corning and straight line speed is gained by this.
