A1GP is now airing in the US. For those of you who don't know what A1GP is, it's considered the World Cup of Racing. Countries race spec-formula cars (600kg, ~570bhp) against each other. Last week's race (tape delayed for us) at Estoril, Portugal was very good racing to watch. The drivers have a boost button that they can use 8 times during the main event so it makes overtaking attempts very common.

Check it out today at 3:00pm on Outdoor Life Network. They're showing round 5 from Sepang, Malaysia.

It's kind of like F1 Lite - lots of former F1 guys that just didn't quite make it, but the talent is high and the racing is tight. It is a much better measure of driver skill than F1, where the cars end up making a big difference.

The next one is showing tonight (Sunday) at 8pm. The race is at the Dubai Autodrome. They're trying to catch us up with the live season.
