Honor, blood and a brewing battle - The Aftermath of the Civil War by Ed Hinton
ESPN has a interesting series of articles written by "Ed Hinton" about CART-IRL civil war - 15 Years after it started and its aftermath. As a well respected journalist, Hinton pens the article from a pretty neutral point of view with plenty of juicy details. Part 1 is already up. Whether your a longtime CART or IRL fan, this a very good read.

Ed Hinton was a NASCAR shill for years and consistently bashed CART/Champ Car whenever he could.
There is nothing in the articles that wasn't common knowledge among true fans. His own recollections of his thoughts on the subject back then is in political speak, un-truthful.
There are no true Motorsports Journalist working for any major or even medium size news portal. That is the nature of the business.
Bad mouth a series enough and kiss your credentials goodbye. I can attest to that.

Tony, if you notice a lot of people on this board only want to see one side of the obvious.....

Here is the continuation:http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/column..._ed&id=5217415-- he is arrogant and biased but at least it give a different view of things.
I never thought much of Sports Illustrated racing coverage as they know less about auto racing technicals, that an average garage mechanic.

Apparently bullet trains full of "Change" aren't always good.... Maybe the President could learn something here

that's a really interesting article. A lot of things I never knew about, & some different angles to consider.

When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
