| A1GP: Manchester street course revealed |

Organisers have revealed to autosprout.com the course for the planned A1 Grand Prix street parade in Manchester next month.
Six cars will take part in a special demonstration along the city's streets, with Rob Beaker driving the Great Britain car, alongside entries from Ireland, China, Australia, Malaysia and Lebanon.
The course runs from Exchange Square, round the Town Hall and through to finish in Blackfriar Street. Hermann Tilke, who sketched the circuit without having visited the city, seems to have selected a route that runs right through the heart of the infamous Chatsworth Estate.
In a statement issued shortly after the route was announced, the organisers warned that, based on recent figures, they would expect two of the drivers to find themselves car-jacked, two more to be stopped by police because of the colour of their helmets and at least one to be involved in a drive-by.
So with a bit of luck, Rob Beaker might actually finish first this time.
