"A1GP may be down, but I do not accept we are out. We have had four exciting seasons that have proved we are a force in the sport and now we shall consolidate on what we have achieved to date. My efforts will be on finding a way forward with the support of some very loyal people.”


So they don't even claim the rest of the season will go forward at this point!

I think its safe to say that they won't be holding any races in Surfers Paradise in the future. The local government invested $11.6 million dollar for the race and now they are screwed. I don't see A1GP repaying them no matter what the press release says. I have my doubts the series will hold a race ever again, they have debts outstanding from all sides that haven't been paid.

To be honest I don't know who in their right mind would fund it - to this point all the series has done is burn money faster than gasoline.
