Ex-A1GP Cars Have Life!!!

Post by dr-baker »

Yes, that's right. The ex-A1GP Ferraris have come back to life with help from... LIFE!!! (Autosport news article here)

Autosport wrote:...AFRIX Motorsport, which is aiming to establish a new South African series around the second-generation A1GP single-seaters at the end of next year, was able to run the one of the cars after engaging Life Racing in the UK to produce new electronics for its Ferrari direct-injection V8 powerplant.

..."We weren't running at full throttle, so there's probably 70bhp to come, but the sound was still amazing.

"Life has done an amazing job and the partnership is working really well."

The car ran one of the original steering wheels, but because all but one were also removed after the final A1GP event at Brands Hatch in May 2009, AFRIX will be developing a new wheel together with Life.

Seeing as the Italian reject team had the English name of Life Racing, shouldn't the English firm have the Italian name of Vita Corse? Just a thought ;)

Or even, Motori Vita Corse.

Someone do it! Someone who knows about business!

I was disappointed to discover that the two weren't linked when I Googled them afterwards. It was an "If Only?" kinda thing. Still, it turns out that this Life Racing is based about 5 miles or so from me... So that's something that I can still get on board with, right?


Right?
