This weekend sees the second season of the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport come to an end at Brands Hatch in England.
South Africa will be one of 23 teams racing for the pride of their nations in the A1GP of Great Britain, which brings the curtain down on an 11-round series that started at Zandvoort in the Netherlands in September last year and included a street race in Durban, KwaZulu Natal in February.
Adrian Zaugg, who won the season-opening Sprint race at Zandvoort in October last year in his first appearance at the wheel of South Africa's car, called Vulindlela ('clear the way'), will drive at Brands Hatch.
The 20-year-old Red Bull Junior Team driver returns to A1 Team South Africa after missing the Shanghai round two weeks ago when he made his GP2 debut for Red Bull in Bahrain.
When Zaugg last drove Vulindlela, in the Mexican round of the World Cup of Motorsport in Mexico City in March, he achieved the team's best result this year with a fourth place in the Sprint race and a third in the Feature race.
"We'll be aiming to build on those results," said team manager Mike Carroll.
