Handing out "freebies" for one race is a bit different than making a definitive move to consolidate into one series. IRL teams are already benefiting from the new distribution arrangement. Further, there would be a spinoff, imho in sponsor interest as it would finally be one series. We also don't know what TG may be willing to do "in kind" for existing IRL teams were CC to take the offer.

It might also be pointed out that it was the gringos who went to TG and asked for the deal - not an offer by TG to the gringos - it might be said that the gringos had their hat in their hands, actually.

I agree that a unified series for CIRCL can't happen soon enough.

Oh yeah, speaking of canceled races, how about the ones that were canceled during the season for CC?

Face it kids: neither series is setting the world on fire...
