You're being a bit unfair there GP Racer. Chevrolet went to a major effort to initially get competitive against Toyota and Honda - it was only when the new engine rules came in this year that they ceased to be competitive. They get much more positive publicity from NASCAR, and might as well concentrate on that, as it has much more US attention.

This is bad news for the smaller IRL teams though, as many would struggle to find a new supplier they can afford. If CART opens its engine rules up for 2006, manufactuers might be mroe tempted by that, so attracting newcomers will be tricky. Cosworth might be able to continue the program with new backing, but not of Kevin Kalkoven buys it.
