2005–06 A1 Grand Prix of Nations, United States of America

The 2005–06 A1 Grand Prix of Nations, United States of America[1] was an A1 Grand Prix race, held on the weekend of March 12, 2006 at Laguna Seca.

Due to constant rain, the A1GP weekend was canceled by the track a week before the race.

The rain stopped, but the ground was still soaked to the point that most of the parking lots were closed in fear of vehicles getting stuck in the mud.

Laguna Seca is located just a few miles from the Monterey Bay, and is at an elevation of about 750 feet.

The weather chased away more fans as snow fell on Friday night.

Qualifying was held in "ideal" conditions compared to the rest of the weekend and the lap times were quick.

With rain nearby, officials changed the start times for both races.

Less than five minutes before the start, a torrent rain storm hit the track hard.

Teams quickly switched to rain tires and put on a great show.

By the halfway point of the 30 minute sprint race, the rain stopped, yet there was enough water that a dry line could not be found.

There were also some questionable calls by the officials causing Jos Verstappen to storm out of his car in the middle of the race.
