    The fun, but short lived A1GP series raced between 2005 and 2009, providing motorsport enthusiasts with great action throughout the winter-off-season. The teams were seperated in nations, meaning it was a real 'World Cup' of Motorsport. To recreate this spectacle, take the fun and powerful, but sadly mostly unused Formula Raceroom US! This is against the people that say: 'It's an Indycar, so it is only raceable in America.' We are in simracing-So you can race it everywhere in the world (except Brands Hatch GP)

    Comparison A1GP---FrUS
    Topspeed: approx. 300km/h---around 323km/h @Le Castellet with lowest settings&P2P
    Assists: No ABS/No TC---No ABS/No TC
    Power: V8 w/ 600hp---V6 Turbo w/675hp
    Weight: 695kg---785kg
    Power Boost Button---Push To Pass (Similar gadgets)

    As you can see, it's pretty much equalizing all out. The level of downforce also seems quite the same, watching some old onboards.
    9 out of 20 tracks are included in R3E:
    Brands Hatch
    Lausitzring
    Zandvoort
    Portimao
    Sepang
    Dubai Autodrome
    Shanghai Intl
    Zuhai Circuit
    Laguna Seca
    This should be enough to have a nice championship, alongside with the following race presets I modelled as close to the original one as possible:
    Practice: 1hr/2hrs if you want the real kick ;)
    Qualifying: 4 segment (last one will be a one lap shootout) each 10 mins long
    Race 1: 24min+1lap, mandatory pitstop (no refueling)
    Race 2: 69mins+1lap, mandatory pitstop (no refueling), Grid: Q1 reverse (for more fun)

    Have fun!

    Greetings

    That's right! The Formula US Car makes lots of fun on tracks outside from the US;)
