Yesterday was the first A1 GP race held at BrandHatch.. or something like that. It is totally different from F1, more like the Porsche cup where all the cars are the same. With all teams having the same car, it all bears down to the drivers, support team as well as how you play your cards. One interesting addition is the Power Boost feature in all the cars. When activated via a button by the driver, it gives the car an additional 30hp, from 520bhp to 550 bhp at a push of a button. Something like the NOS button featured in The Fast and the Furious movie.

Unlike F1, the drivers go on a 3 x 15 minute qualifying with the best two taken in to average to determine grids.

Anyways, the race was rather interesting, but it still lacks something, something which F1 has… I kenot point out what it is, but it lacks. But still an interesting race.

The Brazilian driver… Nelson Piquet (pronounced as Pee Kay) Jr. took first place. He should. Just look at the way he pulls away from the rest with ease. I think when the pit crew screwed up, he must be cursing away as he lost two places!!! Some more.. got so many accidents which brought the safety car out.

A little not on Nelson… his hair.. amazing lar.. how he keeps it so soft and neat is.. simply… AMAZING. Even after those zooming around for so long in that full-face helmet, he emerge with his hair falling softly over his face. How can? A simple 10 minute track run in a go-kart would have messed up my hair… definitely wan. Some more sure sweat kao kao wan. But this guy.. Waaa… good lar…

See his hair.. (pic taken from A1 GP Official website)

well.. maybe you all kenot see the softness of his hair in this pic.. but trust me.. really soft..
