Champ car was turning into a Worls series powered by cosworth in a Nissan/renault world series kinda way- not bad racing but small fry type stuff.
this can only help open wheel
now with new cars coming in 09 maybe they'll stick with ethanol turbos and a decent MIX of chassis instead of a spec.
if champcar is dead and CART is dead and IRL won't be as it was
well long live North American OPen Wheel World Series what ever it will be reborn as
this can only be good. one guy in control as sucky as it is, look what global power Bernie is...
it was champ car (indy car at the time) that was there first. the IRL wth newman haas will be a boost, but i dont see how its going to lift the IRL back into a series thats going to be sucessful.
