- Panoz is developing a new wing package for the oval races.
- The events will be ran over a set number of laps, not time.

Race Schedule

7. Rockingham 500 / Rockingham Motor Speedway / June 8
8. Pioneer Grand Prix of Brands Hatch / Brands Hatch / June 15

I dream of this happening in real life. And if I were to dream of four European races in real life, the only change I would have made is to replace Zolder with Monza... But this looks interesting all the same.

It should be awesome, especially Brands Hatch, will Brands be on the GP or the Indy circuit?

Brooks Associates Racing to enter Champ Car

Brooks Associates Racing have announced that they have secured sponsorship from Honda. Their driver is rumored to be Takuma Sato, as he is sponsored by Honda and he hasn't got a Formula One contract with a competitive team.

Brooks Associates Racing - Press Release

We have signed a deal with Honda and will be racing at the Champ Car World Series this season. Today, we have completed negotiations with Takuma Sato, and happily announce that he will be racing for us this season. Honda have started developing a engine to comply with the rules - a 2.65 liter turbocharged V8 that will be used by both us and Forsythe/Pettit Racing Technology.

The GP Circuit.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just no. The Indy circuit is so called for a reason, y'know. It was named after the IndyCar series in 1978, after their race there. ChampCar also used that configuration in their 2003 race. The GP loop has only been used for the F1 GPs, and IndyCar/ChampCar has only ever used the Indy loop.

When you decided to follow a xkoranate series, you knew what you were getting into.

OK, the race will be at the Indy Circuit.
