The teams that participate at that time, among others, Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC, Leeds United, FC Porto, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon.
But due to some reason, such as lack of interest and lack of sponsorship assurance from FIFA and FIA, the race P1GP held off. But the concept of this football themed race remains stored until finally at the end of 2005, the F1 promoter Bernie Ecclestone decided to re-launch the P1GP race with a new name Superleague Formula. Racing SLF approved by FIFA and FIA commissions and will begin in 2008, when the chairman of the race SLF held by famous businessmen Alex Andreu and Robin Webb with advisor Bernie Ecclestone (FOM), Max Mosley (FIA), Sepp Blatter (FIFA), and Michel Platini (UEFA).
