History

[edit]

Will Power was the team's driver for theopening round atBrands Hatch, scoring a fourth place in the Sprint Race and a second in the Main Race, beaten only byNelson Piquet Jr. who dominated the weekend. Power amassed 16 points for these two results; however, he had already signed forChamp Car'sTeam Australia and made no further appearance in A1GP. His replacement was seat owner Jones' sonChristian Jones, who did not fare so well;round two in Germany provided no points and a best finish of fourteenth place.

The uncompetitive Jones was replaced withWill Davison forround three in Portugal, and despite a qualifying performance of 18th place and a first-lap retirement in the Sprint Race, secured sixth place and five points in the Main Race. Davison was maintained for thehome round atEastern Creek Raceway, and again provided a sixth-place Main Race result. Davison consistently scored better in the Main Race in his drives, securing a one-point tenth place in theUAE round, although retiring from the main racein Durban.

Contract obligations again caused a driver change when Davison switched toV8 Supercars; Australia's fourth driver of the season wasMarcus Marshall, who scored the team's first podium since the opening round with a third-place finishin Indonesia. He also moved into V8 Supercars however, and the driver's seat reverted to Christian Jones, who was again uncompetitive.

The seat for the last two rounds was awarded toRyan Briscoe, who matched Power and Marshall's podium feat in the final roundin China, with a main race third-place finish. In total, Australia's best results were a second place and two third places, for a total of 51 points and 13th place in the first-ever A1GP championship.

Although Team Australia managed to secure three podium finishes during the2006-07 season, they still finished the championship in 13th position with 25 points.

Team Australia finished the2007–08 season in 17th position, but did manage to score points in both the Sprint and Feature races of theirhome race.

In the2008–09 season, Team Australia scored their first ever fastest lap in the final race of the season, however just narrowly missed out on beatingNew Zealand in the final standings, finishing 8th.
