I don't know about all this fake stuff-I always thought it was some kind of sad joke- but if you are seriously looking for past results and info on all major forms of motorsports Racing Reference seems to be the place to go. They do still have a champ car page buried under the "other races" tab and it takes you to this page here:
http://www.racing-reference.info/cart.htm
I find that, at least in the NASCAR section of it, that its pretty useful and accurate back to the mid 1970's, anyway. I haven't really take the time to look through the champ car stuff but it should be pretty accurate, anyway.
Although the fake Champ Car site is a tad tragic it just reminded me of how much I miss Champ Car. Indycar is ok and everything but those Dallaras are plain ugly, the Lola / Panoz Champ Cars looked great and it seems mad that the 2007 season Champ Cars are now running in the BOSS Series in the UK (a mainly ameteur series for old F1 / Champ Cars) when the "current" gen Indycars date back to the 2003 season, this season marks the 10th year with the same chassis - the new cars for 2012 can't come soon enough!!
I still have mixed feelings realizing we're about to start our 4th season PC. Even with all the changes, this INDYCAR just doesn't have the same feeling as the CART version.
We are back under one roof, but there are a few of us who miss the old days. Oh well, Nostalgia is a wonderful thing.....
As for fake racing series sites, I guess this guy doesn't get out of his mother's basement too often and date women....
Look again, his WIFE is also listed as a driver in his made up series. But then again, maybe she is made up too.Quote:

See http://www.youtube.com/user/CrapwagonChampcarfan. Unfortunately, judging by the uploader's name, he's probably a member of a previously enthusiastic fansite which is nothing more than the gathering place of a few sick hatemongers now.Quote:

That seems to be the closest we will come to what once was...
