The president of the Long Beach Grand Prix Association says Champ Car needs to do a better job of scheduling its races if they're to return for a 23rd year at the seaside course.
Monday's announcement by HVM Inc. confirming Scandinavian drivers Bjorn Wirdheim and Ronnie Bremer brings the number of Champ Car entries to 16, the minimum required under the series contract with race promoters. At least three more official entries are expected by the time Friday qualifying begins.
"Champ Car came through under worse conditions last year, after CART collapsed," he tells the Times. "So let's see what they do this time."
Some reports suggest Champ Car might be willing to waive the sanctioning fee for next year's race if it can secure a three year deal. Long Beach is reportedly paying Champ Car $2.4-million this year to stage the race.
