SPEED to Broadcast A1GP World Cup of Motorsport in Canada

Montreal, 06 December, 2006 - The A1GP World Cup of Motorsport has 
significantly expanded its global television reach, signing an 
exclusive broadcast deal with North America's SPEED channel. Coverage 
begins with the broadcast of October's opening round of the 2006-07 
A1GP season from Zandvoort, Holland, starting Wednesday 6th December 
at 4pm EST.

As a result of Wednesday's announcement, more than 68 million homes 
across the United States and another 5 million in Canada will now 
have access to A1GP through the nation's foremost cable network 
dedicated solely to motorsport. A1GP will join the ranks of Formula 
One, NASCAR, Champ Car World Series and Moto GP on SPEED, one of the 
fastest growing cable networks in the United States.

"SPEED is intrigued by the competitive patriotism in the A1GP World 
Cup of Motorsport," said Hunter Nickell, SPEED Executive VP and 
General Manager. "It adds a unique twist to high-level racing and we 
believe it is something SPEED viewers will support and enjoy."

"I think this is a huge step forward for A1GP and A1 Team Canada," 
remarked A1 Team Canada driver Sean McIntosh on hearing of the deal. 
"SPEED is obviously a well-known channel throughout North America and 
offers the series, and of course the Canadian team, a great platform 
for promotion. As a result, hopefully more people will be aware of 
what A1GP's all about and we can continue to expand our fan base."

A1 Team Canada's rookie racer, James Hinchcliffe, is similarly 
excited by the new broadcast package. "I think it's awesome news and 
makes perfect sense given SPEED's dedication to covering motorsport 
at the highest level. Fans in Canada will love seeing for themselves 
the action and excitement that A1GP offers; it's a great deal for 
promoting some of the best racing out there as Sean and I compete 
around the world for Canada!"

Commenting on the deal, A1GP's Executive Director and Head of 
Broadcast, Richard Dorfman said, "A1GP's unique nation versus nation 
race format has fast developed a strong fan base and this new deal, 
taking the sport into homes across North America, will give a wider 
variety of fans access to the series.  Close racing, tight overtaking 
maneuvers and the competitiveness of the 23 national teams delivers 
an exciting broadcast package that lets the fans experience the 
thrill of A1GP from the comfort of their own homes."
