TV REMINDER - SPEED TO AIR NEW ZEALAND A1GP ACTION
Montréal, Canada - Tuesday 23 January, 2007 -
Round 6 of the 2006-07 A1GP World Cup of
Motorsport, hosted last Sunday at the brand-new
Taupo Motorsports Park in New Zealand, will be
broadcast on SPEED on Wednesday 24th January at
4pm EST.
The 3.5km North Island track suited A1 Team
Canada's James Hinchcliffe (20) as the Toronto
rookie heralded his return to competition,
following a two race absence while Vancouver's
Sean McIntosh raced for the team, by picking up a
pair of top-six finishes on Sunday.
Sixth at the checkered flag in both the Sprint
and Feature races, Hinchcliffe's performances
netted A1 Team Canada a total of six points to
maintain its footing in the top-ten of the A1GP
Nations Standings, the team currently placing
ninth from the 23 competing nations.
Germany stretched its advantage at the head of
the pack to 19 points over France (65-46) at
Taupo courtesy of back-to-back wins from teenage
rookie Niko Hülkenberg, the German pole-winner
scoring his third and fourth A1GP victories and
his first weekend sweep.
Round 7 of the 2006-07 A1GP World Cup of
Motorsport sees a return to Sydney's Eastern
Creek Circuit in Australia, Friday 2nd - Sunday
4th February.
