Former Alpine F1 boss Budkowski is behind a bid to revive the A1 GP series. Full story:
The organisation behind the initiative is called the World Cup of Motorsport and is using the A1 GP logo, although it's not yet clear whether that will be the definitive series name.
As revealed by Sky Business News and since confirmed by Motorsport.com, the man behind the latest initiative is entrepreneur Sir Keith Mills, who is best known for founding the UK's Nectar and Air Miles loyalty schemes. It's understood that Mills and his Origin Sports Group concern are trying to secure the backing to get the project off the ground.
Budkowski started his career as an aerodynamicist at Prost GP in 2001 and subsequently moved up the ranks at Ferrari and McLaren, becoming head of aerodynamics at the latter in 2012.
