Close exciting racing and maximum exposure for its sponsors and partners are the criteria for A1GP World Cup of Motorsport and its new Powered by Ferrari car for season four. With this in mind the chassis already has a re-designed engine cover.

A1GP Chief Commercial Officer, Scott Hollingsworth, explained the reasoning behind this: "With all the cars being identical we have flexibility to make sure we deliver our promises to both our sponsors and fans. This enlarged engine cover allows a much higher profile position, while delivering the on track performance we demand. We are working hard to make sure our commercial partners get the most out of their association with A1GP."

The above illustration shows a computer graphic of the car with its new bodywork, which will be revealed at the Mugello launch on the 22nd July.

Official team testing will be held in the UK at Silverstone, Northamptonshire, on 19-20 August with a second test now confirmed to take place at Donington Park, Derbyshire, on 9 and 11 September.
