I love A1 simply for the fact its a) wings and slicks motorsport, b) screened free to air in NZ and c) there is actually a kiwi to root for.
It will never compete with F1 but I doubt that was the intention. Im sure now with Ferrari supplying all the teams engines, the prestige the name carries can only help. Also the new A2 gp series will be a good testing ground for new blood
And remember its only season 2, give it some time
