Following the race using a combination of the Live timing screen and the online radio, I did not see a place where Narain had a chance to overtake anyone. I will review the video when it becomes available and keep you fans updated. Narain gained all three places because other cars lost positions. Team South Africa got a drive through penalty for jumping the start and Great Britan had a misfiring engine and eventually a broken suspension.

Narain did record the second fastest lap at 1:14:965 behind race winner Nico Hulkenberg of Germany who got a 1:14:742.

Although Narain finished 7th, being a rookie driver rookie A1GP driver and piloting a slower and heavier car, this is a great result for Team India.

  • I am not sure if you got the same feed that I was listening to, but there were several occasions where the commentators did mention the fact that Team India would be happy.

    If Narain did sign up for a few more races, chances are that Team India will start winning, but who would want to drive an A1 car when your daily driver is a F1 car ?
  • Hi,

    I watched the race - it was at bloody 6.30 IST. Not easy to wake up in delhi winter!

    Yes he had no chance at all to overtake anyone. But the points are great, and the commentators mentioned it several times that Team India was quite thrilled.
