Adam Carroll believes track designing firm Tilke Engineering are planning a visit to Dublin, opening up the possibility that the Irish capital could be set to host an A1GP event.

Team Ireland clinched the 2008/09 A1GP World Cup of Motorsport with Carroll behind the wheel at Brands Hatch earlier this month, and the Portadown racer suspects his home country may be about to book a date on the series’ calendar.

Tilke Engineering, led by world famous circuit designer Hermann Tilke, are planning to send a two-man team to analyse the possibility of running a street race around Dublin City.

“My understanding is that Tilke are coming to have a look,” Carroll told the Irish News of the World. “They are big, big players in the terms of circuit design.

“They are coming to view Dublin as a potential venue for a street track, which would be fantastic for A1GP and Motorsport in general, especially for Ireland.

“It would be a great venue. It works in so many countries and I have no doubt it would work in Dublin.”

Carroll’s Team Ireland boss Mark Gallagher recently told setanta.com that his driver has pledged to race for him in A1GP when possible, even if he makes a mooted move to Formula 1.

And Carroll would love to win an A1 race around Dublin’s streets, to top his victory in GP2 in Monte Carlo.

“The euphoria of winning in Monaco could only be bettered by winning in Ireland – and Dublin’s fair city, in particular,” he enthused.
