So how is it so far?!!
For me there's just too many frigg'n ovals........
Plus, I miss the atmosphere of Champcar. Not even the same vibe....
Too much like NASCAR.:champion:car Continuing since 1909

I'm still here because I like open wheel racing!!
I get the idea that you would rather Champcar/CART just be forgotten, and treated as if it never existed. Like all of the history that the IRL now owns is never to be used in the same sentence as CART/Champcar.
I loved a series for a very long time. I hope in the future that Indycar can become more like what it bought the rights to CART/Champcar's history to.
This thread was started in order to see how fellow former Champcar fans were feeling about this series so far.
I'm not here to cut it down....... I AM here to try to build it up.
Maybe you think that the same formula that the IRL had was a great one?
I'd prefer to call it Indycar, and help to make it the greatest open wheel series in the world!!
This won't happen though. If people feel aren't open minded.:champion:car Continuing since 1909

I agree with you on the final outcome of Champcar, but it also showed some pretty great races on some very nice Road and Street courses.
I didn't mean to offend, but I guess I said it too blatantly.:champion:car Continuing since 1909
