World Cup of Motorsport revival plotted with former F1 team director in charge

A former FIA and Formula 1 team director is reportedly plotting to revive the 'World Cup of Motorsport' A1 Grand Prix series.

A1GP launched in 2005 and ran for four seasons until it was liquidated in 2009. But Sky News reports former Alpine director Marcin Budkowski is leading the project and is working with Sir Keith Mills, who spearheaded the bid for London to host the Olympic Games in 2012.

The open-wheel series was last held in 2008/09 with Team Ireland the champions that year. The most notable A1GP winner was Nico Hulkenberg, who won the 2006/07 title for team Germany alongside Christian Vietoris before going on to compete in F1.
