To be honest I am surprised no one has done it and I always thought Williams would being the clever dick Frank is.
You only have to look at the trade of old F1 cars to see theres a market for it.

Why hasn't someone bought that job lot of A1GP cars and sold them off as track day cars? Ready made, with Ferrari engines - ideal!

Aren't those cars running in Italy as some sort of national series now? I know they had the older Lola/Zyteks but I think they have the Ferraris now as well...Why hasn't someone bought that job lot of A1GP cars and sold them off as track day cars? Ready made, with Ferrari engines - ideal!

Track day cars? Shoot, I was hoping I could bungee-cord my cooler and camera bag to the rear wing and drive this car when I go out and take pictures of freight trains...
