Britains only national motor-racing team, A1 Team GBR, is one of the most consistent teams in the truly global A1GP World Cup of Motorsport. The teams strong results record, including numerous podium finishes, has led to third-placed Championship standings in all three A1GP seasons to date (finishing a mere one point behind New Zealand in both the 2006/07 & 2007/08 seasons). A1 Team GBR utilised the strong driver line up of seasoned A1 Team GBR driver Robbie Kerr & proven race winner Oliver Jarvis for the first 3 seasons. Experienced racer Danny Watts has the honour of driving for A1 Team GBR as the teams 2008/09 A1GP season campaign gets underway.

Great Britain was the first A1GP team to launch & kicked off the inaugural season of A1GP in style with the very first round taking place on home soil at Brands Hatch circuit, Kent in September 2005. The event welcomed a truly international crowd, each rooting for their respective nation as they battled wheel-to-wheel. Unfortunately technical failure prevented a probably maiden victory.

However, having notched up 8 podium finishes during a stellar 2006/07 A1GP season, the British squad returned to Brands Hatch circuit 18 months later for the season finale putting the record straight & creating a piece of series history with the first-ever home win. Despite spells of bad luck throwing the teams title challenge off course during the 2007/08 season, Great Britains stunning home performance was repeated at the British A1GP round in May 2008.

A1 Team GBR has its sights firmly on the top step of the podium ahead of the 2008/09 A1GP season with the sole aim being to win the World Cup of Motorsport. British fans will again have a chance to see GBR race for glory in the distinctive red, white & blue A1GP Powered by Ferrari car at the season finale in Britain on 3 May 2009, now an extremely popular fixture in the British sporting calendar.
