A Likely Scenario - New C^RT Will Not Be US Based

[¡As-de-mim!]

From MotorsportForum

Your all arguing for nothing. Open wheel in the US is dead. CART is on the ropes and if they go down the IRL guys will celebrate for a short time only to get it in the rear when Toyota bolts for NASCAR full time and Honda follows suit. With that the teams and drivers will follow the money trail. The writing is on the wall. It doesn't take a genius to see it all unfolding. By 2008, the Indy 500 will be for Nascar.

If i had the cash (and the way the stock is going, i will soon enough), i would by CART, take it private, get it the hell out of the US except for Long Beach and run it as the #2 to F1. I would have full crowds in Long Beach, the 3 canadian races, the 2 mexican rounds, head down to south america and run in Brazil and Argentina, full houses in europe and asia.

Oh yes..Havegas, you may be saying what will happen. CART stock is low low low right now, and with the success of CART outside of the US, it is a probability someone is thinking just that. That is the scuttlebutt I got from some of the CART guys (worker bee types) I meet up with in Toronto
