A1GP New Regulations

Qualifying is revamped: In a complete shake-up, qualifying has been adapted to ensure every A1GP nation has a fair attempt at securing a solid grid position for both the Sprint and Feature race. As in previous years Qualifying consists of four 15-minute segments in which every team has a single flying lap to show the world what they are made of. However, A1GP has moved away from taking the aggregate of each team’s two fastest times and opted for a simpler method whereby each team’s fastest lap is used to form the grids. The first two Qualifying segments will take place to determine the classification of the Sprint race line-up while the final two Qualifying segments will be fought for the Feature race grid. Mystery pit stop introduced: Teams and drivers will have an unknown quantity to deal with in preparation for the Feature race, in the form of a second mandatory pit stop. More point scoring positions: More points than ever are up for grabs in an A1GP race weekend as both the Sprint and Feature race will allocate points to the top ten finishers.
