They've been using a short clip (2-3 secs) of a Sky branded A1 car in a
promo for their overall 2005 sports package but, they've not exactly made a
song and dance about it, but here's a press release form August, last year;

ALL NEW A1 RACING ON SKY SPORTS
Thursday 19th August 2004


Sky Sports will become the UK's first broadcaster to screen live coverage of
the brand new A1 Grand Prix motor racing series, starting in autumn 2005.
Full coverage from each round of the international FIA sanctioned series,
which pits identical single-seater cars against each other, will be
broadcast exclusively live, with practice sessions, qualifying and the race
itself.

Announcing the deal, Sky Sports Managing Director Vic Wakeling said: "We
have been sold on the concept of a genuine test of driving skills which, of
course, A1 Grand Prix is designed to provide - and we are delighted to be
involved from the beginning."

"It has the added attraction of providing us with more international sport -
all live - throughout the winter months."

His Highness Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum, the brainchild behind
the series, said: "We are pleased and extremely proud to welcome Sky Sports
on board as our first broadcast licensee. Sky's innovative coverage and
support will make A1 Grand Prix truly 'must see' viewing in the United
Kingdom."

A1 Grand Prix is a brand new motor racing series which sees identical cars
compete against each other in a true test of driving skill. Each team will
be a franchise of A1 Grand Prix and the series will marry a unique business
model with high speed motorsport.

The series will be a world cup of motorsport with up to 30 franchises
available limited to only one per country. Each national team franchise will
be represented by a driver native to that country, thereby creating strong
local support and presence for the team.

Races take place during the European winter in countries enjoying summer
weather conditions such as Dubai, Bahrain, South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia
and South America.

The cars are identical single-seater A1 racing cars built by Lola and
powered by a 520bhp A1 Grand Prix V8 engine. The idea is to provide a level
playing field with no driver aids allowed.

Each three day racing weekend will have the same format. Day one, a Friday,
will be free practice, day two further practice followed by qualifying and
day three a 15 to 20 minute sprint race which will determine the grid
positions for the longer main event, which will last for between 40 to 60
minutes.

Sky Sports is the UK's leading broadcaster of motorsport, showing over 1500
hours of action a year. In addition to a variety of magazine programmes, Sky
Sports shows live coverage of the Indy Racing League, British Superbikes and
the Skybet Elite League.



Cheers,
Probert.
