Report

Postponement

The 2005–06 A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Indonesia was originally scheduled to be held on January 15, 2006. This changed on January 4, 2006 however, due to the unexpected death of Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Emir of Dubai, and the uncle of A1 Grand Prix launcher Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum, the day before. This postponement was prompted due to the traditional forty-day mourning period. Tony Teixeira, CEO of A1 Grand Prix stated:
On the following day, A1 Grand Prix and the Indonesian race organizers agreed to run the race on February 12, changing its order in the schedule from that of seventh, to the eighth race of the eleven-race season.
