Well, this is an odd development. Reports emerging over the weekend suggest work is underway to resuscitate A1 GP, the racing series that spluttered to a halt way back in 2009.

Initially running four four seasons, A1 GP saw teams of drivers compete not for each other but for their respective nations, with everyone driving identical-spec cars manufactured by Lola and later Ferrari.

France, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland each won a single A1 GP championship apiece, however the series ran up huge losses and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Now though, an organisation led by Sir Ketih Mills - the man behind, um, Nectar points and Air Miles schemes, believe it or not - is thought to be pushing for a return for the concept rebadged as the World Cup of Motorsport.

First reported by Sky News, the thinking is that there’s a big appetite for country versus country competition in other sports, and therefore the same should be true for motorsport.

Former Alpine F1 team boss Marcin Budkowski has been brought in to look after the technical side of the project, with talks apparently already taking place with car and engine manufacturers.

Cars could be run on sustainable fuel, with teams featuring one experienced driver and one young prospect.

And get this, a December-to-July calendar could mean we’d get races to keep us entertained during F1’s winter break. Anyone fancy some track action and a mince pie?
