i miss Champ Car . . . sooooo bad

[IndyCarAce]

@SocialAutism How can CART/CC be dead when its best teams, drivers, and tracks are now part of the IZOD IndyCar Series? 50% ovals + 50% road/street courses = CART. 10/17 tracks on the 2010 schedule and 11/17 tracks on the 2011 schedule hosted CART/CC races in the past. Today's IndyCars are powered by race engines. The 2012 IndyCar will be powered by turbocharged race engines not production engines. Looks like CART's legacy lives on in the IZOD IndyCar Series.

i watched both danica's win and the last champ car race. haha

[DesotellRacing62]

love both series....just wish champ car survived

[VWatch07]

That was a marathon for ABC's broadcasters! Marty's troupe covered the Motegi race, traveled to Tokyo, flew to Los Angeles then got to Long Beach to cover the final Champ Car race!

I honestly believe that both series could have survived, if both series weren't so hated by each other. Oh well hopefully the new cars can be as exciting as the DP01s were.

@IndyCarAce And the last ChampCar Race Winner may become the last IndyCar Champion with the irl formula....

[international153]

Piss off you Indycar, bring us back CHAMP CAR!! A real series, traveling all over the world, not the fucking IRL tries to stay intact in the USA. Return Indy 500 to Champ Car! The ghost of Champ Car will kill Indycar and the Champ Car name will return

@SocialAutism Name me 1 production Acura that was powered by a V8 engine.

CART had ovals too. Former F1 drivers such as Piquet, Mansell, and Sato crashed on ovals. If it takes no talent to master oval racing, then you try racing an IndyCar at over 220 MPH.

You don't know jack about cars or racing.

[SocialAutism]

@IndyCarAce Acura has used V8 engines in previous production models. So, it defaults back to the "production-based." How many regulars in the series crash on ovals and how frequently? I insult CART champions for being involved with the IRL.

[IndyCarAce]

@SocialAutism None of Acura production cars are powered by V8 engines either. And if it takes no talent to master oval racing, then why can't more drivers do it? Why have former F1 drivers crashed on ovals? If you really are a CART fan, then why do you insult CART champions?

[SocialAutism]

@IndyCarAce Honda owns Acura, correct? Honda is actively involved in the design and development of Acura's production and racing engines, correct? Also, it takes no talent to master an oval. I know this as fact. And yes, Acura does produce production V8s.
