Mexico to announce A1 team

Later today the Mexicans will announce details of A1 Team Mexico at an event in Mexico City. The country's involvement in international racing is currently booming with the Corona Rally of Mexico centred around the city of Leon, a round of the NASCAR Busch Series in addition to the annual Champ Car race in Mexico City and a round of the new FIAWorld Touring Car Championship in Puebla in June. It is not yet clear who will be behind the team but the project is likely to include one of the big name Mexican drivers.
