I havn't read all the posts, but here's my take:
It costs a lot of money to run a serie like champcar. With no serious sponsorship, paying for tv, money-losing events, subsidizing cars, and simply no way out of this slimp (that i can see anyway) i feel that champcar in this form is doomed.
Only solutions i can think of are scenario's where CC finds some major firms backing up the series, like Renault is doing with the World series by Renault: Hire 8 to 10 tracks in the US, stage a race, use your dealers to promote the event and give away tickets. Or drop you way to expensive current formula and go for an upgraded version of Atlantics with 3 different engine makes running for max. $ 1 million a season and try to find 3 manufacturers willing to badge the engines and back the series.
