Screw you Tony George!
Champcar still lives on! On Tony George's recent departure from IMS, I have decided to post this as a celebration, one final two fingured salute to that man, how he thought he would ever create a series as intense as this is beyond me...
Enjoy, its an awsome video!

Well, the IRL yes. But CART/Champcar surpassed F1 in levels of entertainment constantly every single year!

Re: Screw you Tony George!
Remember...
Champcar: 250mph Turbocharged Cosworth engines which back in the good ol' days of pre-1996 were doing F1 levels of laptimes dispite their heaviness, they used this formula right up untill 2006 when they replaced the Lola with the Panoz DP01 (Similar to the Panoz DP09 SLF car, but with more aero and bigger wheels/tyres)
Indycar: Glorified F3000...
EDIT: @ Slider - CART was beginning to become just as big as F1 before Tony Geroge ruined it.

Re: Screw you Tony George!
i watched cart.
seriously though. there wasnt enough market share for nascar and open wheel racing.
this has nothing to do about excitement or quality of racing, it's about money.

Well that may be true, but CART captures my imagination more than anything, which is why i started the thread
