Title : A1GP of Nations, Eurospeedway, Lausitz A1 Teams nominate drivers

 All A1 Teams have now announced their drivers that may take part in the A1 Grand Prix of Nations, EuroSpeedway Lausitz.
 Due to the reorganisation of A1 Team Russia, they will not be taking part in this weekend's event.
 With the pride of their nation at stake, each A1 Team will take to the track for the first official practice session this afternoon at 13:00 local time. A second official practice session will follow at 16:00 before a final practice session and qualifying tomorrow and the Sprint and Feature races on Sunday.
 Adding an additional layer of excitement to the A1 Grand Prix series, A1 Teams can nominate different drivers for each race weekend.

Title : Official Practice session Results

 The close competition between A1 Teams proved for an exciting start to the A1 Grand Prix of Nations, EuroSpeedway Lausitz, Germany as their positions continued to change throughout the two sessions.
 A1 Team Great Britain recorded the fastest lap for the first official practice session with driver, Robbie Kerr saying: "Obviously it went well in the first session as I was quickest but we have still got work to do. It was good that the time was fast enough to put us third overall at the end of the day. For session 2 we worked on getting a balance on older tyres. We ended up sixth fastest in the second session which isn't too bad but not where we want to be. We know what is making the difference now and so can move forward and tomorrow we are determined to stay at the top of the time sheets."
 The fastest lap in the second session was recorded by A1 Team France's Nicolas Lapierre. He commented: "It has been a good day. This morning was difficult because the team has never been here and nor have I. This made it difficult to find some marks but the team did a really good job this afternoon. We had a small problem on the front wing so had to change it and also a problem with the brakes, but these were very small problems. So far so good, we have to keep pushing tomorrow morning and then we will go for qualifying."
 Recording the second fastest lap over all A1 Team Ireland's Ralph Firman, who will make his A1GP race debut this weekend, said: "It was okay but on this circuit there are no quick corners, they are just very, very long corners and we are struggling with oversteer. It is nice to be back in a single seater although it felt a bit alien to start with. I am slowly getting back to being used to driving a single seater after not driving one properly for two years. I think everyone has now done more days testing than I have so now are ahead of us. It was a good start but there is more to come."

1日目のオフィシャルリリースです。
英文はロビー・ケア(イギリス)とフランスチーム監督とラルフ・ファーマン(アイルランド)の3人のコメントが書いてありますが、ここは記録だけ見れば十分でしょう。
コメントも見たい方は頑張って訳したほうがいいですね。(おぃ)

ちなみに、前戦ブランズハッチのストリーミング放送がオフィシャルで視聴可能ですが、録画したものを欲しい方はコメント欄に言ってくれれば何とかします。(多分)
