A1 Grand Pri
Businessman Arif Husain, a specialist in corporate finance, returns for the 2007/08 season as A1 Team Pakistan seat holder. With a growing economy in his native country, Husain is looking to maximise the exposure of A1GP to grow investment within Pakistan and the Middle East.A1 Team Pakistan was one of the first nations to be announced in the A1GP series, amid a flurry of publicity in 2005.
The team was launched in a magnificent ceremony at Lahore Fort, attended by a large number of media, dignitaries and President Musharraf. The following day, Sheikh Maktoum, founder of A1GP drove the A1 Team Pakistan car around the streets of Lahore; the first time a single seater race car had been seen in the country.
The Swedish based team was originally founded in 1999 and was initially created as part of a business-to-business marketing and branding campaign for an international software company to provide a platform for all their motorsport activities. After just one year, the team was then bought out by Bobby Issazadhe who has operated the team successfully since.
This year’s team is made up of a number of CMS Engineering personnel, together with mechanics with previous experience in other A1GP teams, bringing a high level of knowledge and expertise to A1 Team Pakistan.
