A1 Grand prix For Fictious nations

If a country has been in a Book, Film Or TV series then it can race.....(i feel this could get quite silly)

Those alternative A1GPs are getting crazier

Let me start with Duckburg - everyone who read the Donald Duck comics know the drill.
The driver will be... Launchpad McQuack from "Duck Tales". I thought about signing Donald Duck, but it would be too much of a failure to handle for one series.
On the other hand, Gladstone Gander would dominate the series with his enormous luck. Who knows, maybe he would have surpassed HWNSNBM :mrgreen:

Although it's not a nation, i'd like to submit Dimmsdale, with driver Timmy Turner's Dad
If planets are allowed, i'd like to submit Yugopotamia, with driver Prince Mark Chang

And The Dimmsdale Dimmadome should host the Dimmsdale Dimmadome 500 by Doug Dimmadome what i basically want for that is an typical überamerican oval with oversided grandstands. You can just rename an existing one if you want.

I nominate Narnia, with the car driven by Mr Tumnus the fawn, with Aslan as reserve driver. But would the Pevensie children be allowed?

Plus, I think it should host one of the rounds as it 'did' for the second season of A1GP!

01/04/2006 - Taking racing to the people wherever they may be is the key to the second series of A1 Grand Prix, starting at the A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Circuit Park Zandvoort, Netherlands at the start of October. And so is breaking new ground as the A1GP circus sets its sights on a series of venues that have never been used for motor racing before.

Many of these new venues will require specific regulations to draw the most from the 550bhp racers. For the Venice street race, crew catering will serve only Cornettos. For the hill climb in Tibet, half the field will start the course from the bottom, the other half from the top. For the night race in Lapland, huskies are to be used in place of scooters for moving items around the paddock. Cars will arrive flatpacked for the Ikea Cup race in Narnia, so extra time will be required for their assembly. Sniffer dogs will be used in place of marshals for the race in Baghdad to find any explosives in the cargo. Should any freight issues arise from the event in the Falklands, the event will be moved to Ascension Island. No one with hairy ears will start the races in Middle Earth until their ears have been plucked. Finally, fireproof overalls will be replaced by water wings for the Bikini Atoll extravaganza.

So, remember, A1 Grand Prix takes you places you've never been before.

A1 GRAND PRIX SERIES TWO DATES

29 September-1 October A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Circuit Park Zandvoort, Netherlands
13-15 October Venice street race (this replaces the round at Laguna Seca)

24-26 December Lapland (night race)
5-7 January Narnia (for the Ikea Cup)

26-28 January Canvey Island
12-14 February The Latvian round - to be held on the Isle of Dog (innit!)
26-28 February Falkland Islands

I will enter the Robo-Hungarian Empire and their driver shall be Bender, best known as RWNSNBM.

Petoria - The driver will have to be Peter Griffin.

This is an outrage! We cannot have such a prestigeous racing event without the glorious nation of Tropico. Of course, noone but El Presidente is good enough to race for the island dic... republic.

I oppose that presenting the Tri-State Area Racing Team. Phineas will be the car's designer, with Ferb as the only driver and Candace as team boss.

I would like to register the national team of the "Kingdom of Heaven". Drivers are Liam Neeson and Eva Green.

What would this be without the Mushroom Kingdom, driven by Mario, of course!

Post by **tommykl** » 21 Jun 2011, 09:44

Are countries that occupy real life land but are currently uninhabited and never laid claim to any sort of independence allowed?

If so, I'd like to submit The Saltee Islands from the book Airman by Eoin Colfer, with Linus Wynter driving (just to have a blind man drive).

Also, Borduria from Tintin, with Marshal Kûrvi-Tasch driving (we desperately need a man with a moustache).

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 21 Jun 2011, 09:45

I submit The Island of Sodor with The Fat Controller as the driver :lol:

Damn you! I was planning to enter that!

EDIT: Although I was planning on entering Colonel Sponsz instead. I'm rather fond of the lad.

I enter the glourios Nation of Outer Heaven, with none other than Big Boss as the driver.

there you said it!

(i've allready taken care of 'someone with tentacles')

also, surprised no-one has yet nominated The Empire Obviously driven by Darth Vader (but i have already 2 entries, so you can buy over this one)

I like this.

Anyways, how about Gallifrey, with the Doctor as driver and the Master as reserve driver?

think we should have a seperate one for planets

Atlantis should have a team but I don't know who the driver should be. Plato?

FullMetalJack · Post by **FullMetalJack** » 21 Jun 2011, 21:15

If cities are allowed, i'd like to submit another entry.

New New York - Dr John Zoidberg

Then Skaro for the Daleks, and Mondas or Mimbas (forgot it's name) for the Cybermen.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 23 Jun 2011, 08:21

Some more I have been thinking of:

Greendale - Postman Pat
Pontypandy - Fireman Sam
Bikini Bottom - SpongeBob SquarePants
Tracy Island - Alan Tracy
Oz - the Wizard of Oz
Chuggington - any of the human characters from the series

Silver Hatch - one of the venues for the championship with Roary as Pace Car

dinizintheoven · Post by **dinizintheoven** » 27 Jun 2011, 18:12

Obviously, Blashyrkh needs a representative in this championship. Demonaz can't drive these days, so I'll appoint him team manager and have Abbath and Horgh as drivers. The car will be decorated in the style of Abbath's corpse paint, and will contain some kind of engine trick so that a brief burst of throttle will sound like Abbath shouting "BLARGH!" the way he does so very often.

Expect nothing short of dominant victory in bleak, icy, blizzard conditions. I'll be quite annoyed if this series stays in Middle Eastern Tilke-dromes.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 27 Jun 2011, 20:06

And who could forget Hill Valley, with Doc Brown as team boss, Marty McFly as driver and Jennifer Parker as groupie?

Auslaychiturnishmonacanapean has to be in it, with two drivers, you all should know which ones.

how dare you to insult our dear webmasters

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 29 Jun 2011, 12:09

But surely our dear webmasters would have many other countries to drive for in that case:

Spanaco x 2 (being my favourite)
Spankish (why do these two sound like Max Moseley's favourites?)
Singapanorean
Belgalian x 2
Germgarian
Turkadipeantish (with community members stepping into the breach with this one)
Bahstralaysian
Singapanese
Eurogian
Germish
Australaysian
Bahrasian

A Hill Valley A1GP team would never work... for everyone else, anyway. As soon as the car reaches 88 mph, Great Scott! Suddenly they've reached the finish line when everyone else is still on the first lap!

Just make sure that they have run out of Plutonium and don't give them any rubbish to put into their Mr Fusion!
