About Me:
A1 Team Pakistan is the Pakistani team of A1 Grand Prix, an international racing series.
In 2008/2009 season , the team is being run by Team Craft, bringing a high level of knowledge and expertise to A1 Team Pakistan.
Previously, A1 Team Pakistan was run by Super Nova Racing and Performance Racing.
*2008-09 season
Driver: Adam Khan
The 08/09 season saw wholesale changes not just at A1GP but within Team Pakistan. On September 10, 2008, Adam Khan was announced to hold the dual-role of race driver, and seat holder of A1 Team Pakistan for the 2008-09 season replacing Arif Hussain who lacked knowledge in motor sports. Team Craft took over the running of the team. The team missed the early part of the season as Adam Khan was too big for the new Ferrari built chassis and therefore unsafe to drive so the team was forced to wait for a new chassis to be built.
*2007-08 season
Driver: Adam Khan
Adam Khan returned but he was unable to change the fortunes of the struggling team. The team lacked the technical back up that other teams on the grid had, and were unable to do basics such as analysing lap data, holding Khan back. He was still able to pick up Team Pakistan’s one and only point of the season when he finished 10th in the sprint race in New Zealand.
*2006-07 season
Driver: Nur B. Ali
Adam Khan left the team, and Nur Ali was recalled to race for Team Pakistan in their second season. Performance Racing took over the running of the team. Ali struggled throughout the season where he was off the pace in nearly every race, but he was able to capture a point when he finished 10th in South Africa in the feature race.
*2005-06 season
Drivers: Adam Khan, Enrico Toccacelo
The launch of A1 Team Pakistan was one of the most spectacular, with the A1 Grand Prix Car being presented in front of the Lahore Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf was the star guest at the event, hosted by A1 Team Pakistan Chairman Arif Hussain and its Managing Director, Chaudry Salik Hussain. The team was to be run by Super Nova Racing.
Nur B. Ali was the first driver to be named in A1GP and had shown good form during pre-season testing, but he fell out with the Seat holder Arif Hussain and was replaced with Britsh born Adam Khan.
The Season started well, in the first race in Brands Hatch, Adam Khan qualified in 7th place and finished the sprint race in 8th. The feature race saw problems in the pit stop saw Khan finish in 13th. However, things went down hill from there and not a single point was scored, until South Africa where Khan crashed during practice forcing him out until the final rounds in China. Here he was able to finish 5th in the feature race which resulted in Pakistan scoring a total of 10 points.
Enrico Toccacelo drove in South Africa for Team Pakistan as the team has already spent much time preparing for the race, also the management wished to not disappoint the Pakistani fans.
