Neither the IRL model nor the Champ Car model were the right direction, the PPG CART Indycar World Series (1979-1995) was the right direction.
The reason we are talking about the survival of open wheel is because both Champ Car and the IRL were in dire straits this time last year, the difference being that the IRL had Tony George subsidising his series with his collossal fortune and the Indy 500.
