World Cup of Motorsport could return in 2024 after $100m bid

Sky News reports that numerous investment funds and individuals have already expressed interest in financing the revival of A1GP. The executives leading the initiative will collaborate with Origin Sports Group, a sports investment firm with a track record of successful ventures such as the America’s Cup World Series and the Invictus Games. Talks with car and engine manufacturers are underway, and a working prototype has already been developed.

Key Features of the Revived Series

If the investment stage is successful, the rejuvenated A1GP will comprise 20 teams representing countries from around the world. Each car will conform to a single specification, capable of reaching speeds of up to 350kph, potentially making it the second-fastest motor racing series globally, after Formula 1. In recognition of growing environmental concerns, the cars will utilize sustainable fuel. The series aims to foster young talent by implementing an annual talent competition, with one experienced racing driver and one younger competitor comprising each team.
