Struggling A1GP forced to drop race, or two

UPDATE As we predicted back on December 3rd, A1GP has cancelled their 2nd race (Brazil) today. We would not be surprised to see more get axed.

12/03/06 The A1GP Series has dropped the UAE Dubai race originally scheduled for December 16th and instead are now going to Sentul, Indonesia, which was supposed to be on April 8th. Here is the revised schedule and don't be surprised if it is changed again as we doubt Brazil will happen and we wonder who will pay for the Mexico round. Flying this series all over the world is a real money loser and we count the days before the backers pull the plug.
