The A1 Grand Prix Series ran four split seasons, 2005/2006 through 2008/2009. It never fulfilled the objective of drawing F1 fans during the Northern Hemisphere Winter.
This was one of a series of 'Presentation Cars' that may not be representative of the vehicles that actually raced. It appears that Amalgam did this for three A1GP split seasons beginning with 2005/2006. There is no mention of any 1:43 models on their website today. The company makes high quality models and these sold for twice the price of a Minichamps. In the secondary market, they are very inexpensive. They may be of interest as an early ride for some sportscar and Indycar names.
Jos Verstappen drove for the Netherlands team in their 1st season.
