Arden to run British A1 team

John Surtees, the chairman of the British A1 Grand Prix team, has announced that the UK's entry in the new racing series will be run by the Arden International team in Banbury. The team will be carrying out a driver evaluation programme at Brands Hatch on May 23-24 which will involve four drivers: Adam Carroll, Ralph Firman, Robbie Kerr and Alex Lloyd. The team will probably end up choosing two drivers as the A1 rules allow for two drivers to qualify although only one is allowed to race.
