Pakistan to miss next two rounds
Team Pakistan will miss the next two rounds of the A1GP season while their car is modified to fit driver and seatholder Adam Khan into the cockpit
Khan found during pre-season testing that he was unable to fit comfortably in the new Powered by Ferrari car and it will have to be altered for Khan to meet the series' safety requirements.
Pakistan had already missed the season opener at Zandvoort and will also sit out the races at Chengdu, China and Sepang, Malaysia this month. The team expect to join the series for the New Zealand round at Taupo at the end of January.
"It's very unfortunate," said Khan. "I tried the car out at Snetterton just before the first round at Zandvoort but I just couldn't drive it safely so we had to miss the opening event.
"A1GP is implementing modifications to alleviate the problems, but we will have to postpone the start of our campaign until the car is ready for us. I'm obviously disappointed but safety has to take priority.
"I will be attending the races in the meantime, gaining as much as I can from being part of the A1GP community and working with the technical team to prepare as much as possible before we start racing again."
