Er, maybe because fans of AOWR have made it clear that they're sick of spec racing? What an arrogant ****. Andretti of all people must surely realise that what we have now is a joke compared to the past, merely another GP2/A1GP/Superleague while the CART machinery could put F1 to shame, and it's time for forward momentum, not more stalling.
Spec junior series in Europe, with less TV exposure than IndyCar ( I presume), have generally had to buy new cars every 3 years or so, so what exactly is wrong with the IndyCar teams' accounts that they're whining about an upgrade after all these years?
I presume they're all hoping the delay will mean they can sweep the whole idea and demand for aero kits under the carpet, that's the gut feeling I have. |
And that's where you're wrong. The amount of sponsorship in the European junior series is more than there is in the IICS. That's why when they fail in the Euro ladder they look toward the IICS.
