A1GP Taupo tickets go on sale November 6th

A1GP World Cup of Motorsport today announced that tickets for the third A1GP event at Taupo on January 23rd, 24th and 25th 2009 will go on sale on November 6th. The event, which is the fourth round of series 4 of the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport, is set to be the fastest ever in New Zealand thanks to the new generation of A1GP Powered by Ferrari cars.

Organisers have focused on offering value for money through entirely new ticket pricing options, combined with more on-track action and better facilities. The entire Embankment area will also be more family orientated with organisers encouraging groups to come along with picnics. Entry on Friday is free to anyone buying tickets for Saturday and/or Sunday.

“We have looked at the operational costs of previous years and we have been able to make real savings which we have passed on to the spectators this year in the form of lower ticket prices.” said A1GP Taupo CEO, Gary Dawson. “A1 GP Taupo 2009 will be more affordable for anyone to attend, and will also be more accessible to families and groups.”

The stunning A1GP Powered By Ferrari cars are set to make the race the fastest ever in New Zealand, and with real public interest in young drivers Earl Bamber and Chris Van Der Drift – as well as A1GP ‘veteran’ Jonny Reid – there is certain to be a huge take up by the New Zealand public.

A1GP qualifying takes place on Saturday 24th with the sprint and feature races taking place on Sunday 25th. A packed three day schedule will include the ENZED V8 Ute series, the Battery Town Porsche GT3 Cup, iconic Muscle Cars and the Toyota Racing Series – but the biggest attraction will be the new generation A1GP Powered by Ferrari cars.
