Divided we have fallen. United we will stand agian.
The time is upon all of us to end this tragic Civil War by looking at the facts and finding a common, realistic way forward.
The market has spoken. ChampCar isn’t a brand. It has no economy behind it. It is simply unsustainable without the ego-driven investment of a bunch of very rich guys who have proven themselves to be just another bunch of hobby racers.
Indy Car, despite the lies that justified its creation, is more viable than ChampCar becuase it has the power of perceived inevitabilty and a brand that is defined by the Indianapolis 500. It is also a series that looks more like a CART wannabe with each passing year rather than the open wheeled NASCAR clone it was originally envisioned to be. Some here also forget that CART’s greatest successes came when it was called the PPG IndyCar World Series not CART or ChampCar. MotorSportForums.com
Success is not a word the Champ Car World Series can use, and there’s more de-evolution than evolution for the group. The circuit is simply overwhelmed by the things on its plate.
Like a lack of name drivers.
Sebastian Bourdais, the mild-mannered Frenchman who has won six of the 12 races this season, 29 in his career and 26 of the last 53 in the series, is headed to Formula One next season, taking away the circuit’s most successful name. Bob Keisser, DailyBreeze.com
