Standing alongside President Thabo Mbeki at the annual Friends of the President's Golf Day, A1 Grand Prix Founder, President and Chairman Sheikh Maktoum announced the introduction of the A3 Racing Series.
"I'm delighted to announce A3 racing series, a new feeder formula which will develop future A1 drivers from developing nations in preparation for the inaugural season of the first World Cup of Motorsport this September. A3 will provide a platform where drivers can develop their physical and mental skills, learning to race against each other on a global level.
