The new A1GP World Cup of Motorsport car designed for the 2008/09 season had its first shakedown at Fiorano, the Ferrari test track in Italy, last weekend. The 'Powered by Ferrari' single seater car was driven by Andrea Bertolini.

Following the first laps the initial feedback was positive. At Fiorano for this shakedown were A1GP Technical Director, John Travis, A1GP General Manager, Technical and Operations, John Wickham, and A1GP Lead Consultant on Electronic Development, Anton Stipinovich, all of whom were delighted with the shakedown results, which are very encouraging for a car that is running for the first time.

The team will now undertake an intensive test programme at both the Fiorano test track and the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola.
