A merged series should incorporate the best of both, right? Most of this year has been IRL priority with regards to teams, tracks, and cars. If down the road some of what CC had are integrated, the series has the potential to improve. I liked the standing starts last year and they were devoid of accidents.

The passing lane is an interesting idea, but I'm not completely sold on that.Domm

IMHO standing starts and option tyres should not be part of IndyCar. These idiotic ideas didn't help Champ Car and I wish they would remove the option tyre from F1. These gimmicks were not part of CART and were only a part of Champ Car when they were trying to save a dying series. I'm saying this as a fan of CART of the 90's, not the budget version we saw in the last few years.
Rather than making the racing more artificial, I would rather see multiple engine manufacturers back and multiple chassis.Q: Juan, can you explain your gesture on the last lap to Michael?
JPM: I just said ‘what happened, what were you thinking’. That’s all.
MS: I thought you were congratulating me.
JPM: I never do actually.

I have always prefered rolling starts....Don't know why, when I first got into CART thats what made it different to F1 I guess, and drew my attention. Option tyres, just brings more statergy and gives teams more options, I don't mind if they want to let them.
Less down force might be better, and I'd love to see Turbo engines to make the series more distinct from many others. Tiny little 2 ltr engines with turbos. The noise oh the noise.Indy cars says bye to Sky. Yeah baby.......

Option Tires...Ok
Standing Starts.....YES.
But what I really want is no Yellow Flag Pit-stops!

The passing lane is a dreadful idea. Completely devalues passing moves. It sounds like a NASCAR gimmick, with no place in a racing series.
