A1 Grand Prix features identical single-seater cars which do not have the ultra-expensive and sophisticated driver aids which are part of today's F1 machines, meaning that the drivers have to rely on their ability rather than a superior car. As the championship is for countries, it will not have two championships each year like F1, one for drivers and the other for constructors of the cars.
