2007–08 A1 Grand Prix season

The 2007–08 A1 Grand Prix season was the third season of A1 Grand Prix.

Calendar

The Indonesian round at Sentul was removed from the calendar. Following the farcical Beijing round the previous season, the second Chinese event was moved to Zhuhai International Circuit near Hong Kong. Two pre-season tests were held at Silverstone Circuit on 28–29 August 2007 and 18–19 September 2007.

Due to Zandvoort's noise restrictions, regular and rookie practice sessions were not held on Friday at the Dutch round. Saturday morning was dedicated to practice sessions and Saturday afternoon to qualifying.
