    A very good point. ChampCar was a much weaker series with many of the Top drivers moving to IRL.

    Forgot about Mark Blundell and Mauricio Guglemin. Blundell had a degree of success in CART, including that legendary finish at Portland.

    Let's not get pulled off topic and get into the what's "Indy Car" thing. Call it "major AOWR", if that works better for everyone. Champ Car was relatively weak in its final days and many of the "stars" in the current IRL would have had to buy a ride when CART was at its height. 'Nuff said.

    Jan Magnussen did a spell with McLaren and also a short stint with Penske in CAR... uh, major AOWR.

    Mad Max Papis spent a partial season with Footwork's F1 team in '95 and moved on to CART in '96.

    Good thread. It brings up some names from the (more pleasant) past.

    Magnussen was with Stewart wasn't he? Did Zonta ever race in [insert North American open wheel series of choice here]?

    ETA - not forgetting Christian Fittipaldi, if only for looping a Minardi over the finish line at Monza.

    I LOVED that guy! Ah no wait. I'm thinking about Morbidelli.
    All other opinions are wrong....

    morbidelli was the good one. Md Max was more intresting because he was funny to watch, but he was outclassed by his hopeless team mate Taki Inoue!

    legends of footwork all of them!
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.
