The Champ Car World Series on Monday announced a 14-race schedule for 2008 that includes a new event in Jerez, Spain. Six races are in the United States.
Gone from the 2007 schedule, which concludes Sunday in Mexico City, are downtown street races in Las Vegas and San Jose, Calif. Three races that were on the original 2007 schedule but subsequently canceled—Denver, Phoenix and China—are not part of the plans in ‘08. IndyStar.com
Canadian Champ Car fans are some of the most supportive in the world and the three events in Canada are a highlight of the season, the head of Champ Car said Monday in announcing its 14-race schedule for 2008.
Spain will be a new stop on the Champ Car World Series next year, but there will be no races in China or Las Vegas, said Steve Johnson, Champ Car’s president and chief executive officer, in a telephone news conference.
