A1 Team Canada came away from Round 7 of the 2006-07 A1GP World Cup of Motorsport on Sunday empty-handed following a disappointing 13th place Sprint race finish and a spectacular Feature race retirement for James Hinchcliffe at Australia's Eastern Creek International Raceway.
Blocked at the start of the morning's 20-minute Sprint, Eastern Creek's tight, 3.93km configuration yielded little opportunity for Toronto's Hinchcliffe to make up the two spots he dropped from his 11th place grid slot. Traditionally a processional race as the field protects its position ahead of the 70-minute Feature race, the Sprint results forming the start order for the afternoon's race, James was held in 13th through to the checkered flag, his first non-scoring finish for Canada since Round 1in Holland.
