A1 Team France in orbit

Today,  A1  Team  France  unveiled  its  new  colours  and  presented  its  drivers  at  its official launch in the prestigious Hotel de Crillon on Place de la Concorde, Paris. A1  Team  France  took  advantage  of  this  occasion  to  outline  its  ambitions  for  the coming A1 GP season in front of an audience of international journalists and people from the world of motorsport and show business. France won the inaugural A1GP Championship in 2005-2006. Nicolas Lapierre and Alexandre Prémat dominated their rivals winning thirteen of the twenty races thanks to  the  backing  of  a  team  made  up  of  some  of  the  best-known  talents  in  terms  of strategy and fine-tuning in motor sport.

This result helped French colours to make an impact worldwide. Last year, Loic Duval and Jean-Karl Vernay joined Nicolas Lapierre in the A1 Team France  for  a  learning  season.  The  French  squad  was  a  regular  points  scorer,  and racked  up  three  podium  finishes,  ending  the  year  in  fourth  place  in  the  A1  GP Championship. This year, A1 Team France has renewed its confidence in Loic Duval while preparing for the future with the arrival of Nicolas Prost, who made a big impression in testing on  the  Silverstone  circuit.  The  team  begins  the  2007-2008  season  fuelled  with  a burning desire for revenge and a single aim in mind: reconquer the no.1 spot. This ambition is clearly shown by the team’s new visual identity.
