A1 Team Great Britain officials will reveal their driver line-up for Brands Hatch tomorrow (Thursday).

No nation has been victorious in its home race since A1 GP began, and with both of the team's drivers, Oliver Jarvis (right) and Robbie Kerr, taking victories in the past two meetings, speculation has been rife as to who will be awarded the drive for GBR's prestigious home event.

Oliver Jarvis thrust himself into the reckoning by dominating the Feature race in Mexico to take Great Britain's maiden win last month and he told the press that he was available to drive at Brands Hatch if he was wanted.

In Shanghai last weekend, Kerr notched up his maiden victory in the Sprint race, having taken an impressive pole position in qualifying.

Kerr has the greater experience, having driven in 34 A1GP races, two of which were in the inaugural A1GP round at Brands Hatch in 2005, where he famously retired from the lead with mechanical problems.

However, Jarvis' three podium finishes from four races has given team bosses plenty to think about ahead of the all-important home event.
