A1 Grand Prix. France is winning.

I have heard nothing about A1 Grand Prix... I guess that's because there is no US team. All those other snooty countries are afraid we might conquer them (hey, it's happened before). An international competition that France is leading? We must invade! It's what we do best!

All seriousness aside, I'm thrilled to see any new open-wheel racing. They're even going to places like Laguna Seca, and that couldn't get much cooler. I get the impression (no, I haven't read the website) that it's like IROC, meaning that all the cars are identical, and the only difference is the language the drivers use to curse each other.
