The global championship, which was unveiled in Johannesburg on Monday, has been co-founded by three key players in the A1 Grand Prix World Cup of Motorsport of 2004/05 to 2008/09.
Liu Yu and Tokyo Sexwale, the former seat holders of the national A1GP teams from China and South Africa respectively, have joined forces with the championship’s general manager and then commercial head during its development and first two seasons, Stephen Watson, to establish the Elite World Cup in time for a winter-season campaign in 2024/25.
