Id rather be watching Champ Car but if the IRL is all i can get then ill guess ill have to make do with that.
As far as i view it, it will be the IRL with Champ Car teams/drivers competing. The only way it will be like Champ Car is if they bring back the turbos and gets a decent looking car - even the old Dallara looks better than the latest thing.

I'll mourn when it's official. My wife and I were making plans for Mt. Tremblant this summer so we could introduce our 8 year old to the glorious sound of turbo Cosworths...

I'm sure that some people or entities would get some or give some with a melding of the two series, and TG's quote in there would indicate that the fat lady is headed toward the microphone as far as the deal being done is concerned, but overall, the SPORT would win with this.

If true, this is great news for AOWR. If it's not true, it looks like the CCWS lost the PR battle and is all but finished anyway. So this unification/merger/hostile takeover will now happen regardless of what CC does.

Whatever floats your boat, Rex, and I suppose a lot of folks at CW feel the same way although I haven't lurked over there this morning. Just as a thought, I think it would bring to an end the focus on who's running each series and add more focus to the drivers, teams, tracks and races. Like I said earlier, with a unified series, the SPORT wins.

In my view, this whole thing is a complete cock up and I see no value in it.Don't waste your time having a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent
