'09 A1GP // NEIL TOZER REPORTS ON SEPANG (NOV.23 - 2008)

Following Neil Tozer's report on the A1GP’s eighth round at Taupo, New Zealand, we thought we’d offer a bit of outdated coverage from rounds six and seven at Sepang, Malaysia (November 23rd, 2008)

This was an especially poignant race for Team USA, as the 21year old Marco Andretti scored his first podium, finishing in third for Team USA in the Feature Race.
 
Andretti started the Sprint Race from 11th but was involved in a major startline crash, as he ran up and over the back of the Team India car driven by Narain Karrthikeyan, and was eliminated on the spot.
 
However, for the weekends Feature Race, Andretti, who started from the eighth position, put in his best drive to date coming home on the podium for the first time with a thrid place finish. The two remaining podium steps for the weekends Feature Race were claimed by Adam Carroll for Team Ireland and runner up Felipe Albuquerque in the Portuguese Car.

Be sure and stay tuned, as CTD’s UK correspondent Neil Tozer will be on the ground for the ninth and final race of the ‘09 A1GP season, scheduled for March 5th at Brands Hatch.
