Default Smart Move!

The Champ Car World Series has always been a series about its fans, and in support of the international open-wheel racing community, the organizers of the Champ Car Grand Prix of Cleveland Presented by U.S. Bank and Champ Car officials have announced that tickets for Sunday's Formula 1 United States Grand Prix will be honored on June 26.

Open-wheel racing fans will be able to see the 750-horsepower Champ Car's battle on the temporary circuit constructed in Downtown Cleveland at Burke Lakefront Airport as the headliners of a full day of racing.

Joining the Champ Cars will be the Toyota Atlantic Championship Presented by Yokohama, the Speed World Challenge GT cars and the Formula Ford 2000 series.

That's such a great marketing idea. I went to the Long Beach GP last year and had a great time, unfortunately couldn't make it back this year. Champ car is a good show and the support racing is top notch (Trans Am, Toyota Atlantic, and this year drifting). I wouldn't hesitate making the effort to get there if it's feasible for you.

Here is a link to the event: http://www.champcarworldseries.com/E...nts.asp?ID=534

Brilliant, I'm desperately hoping that Champ Car will survive, though I'm worried...

I think they will, they have a better product, better business plan and better people running the organization. All the IRL has is the Indy 500 and (as of late)Danica Patrick. But one race and one woman in a traditionally man's sport, no matter how hot she is, isn't enough to carry a whole racing series.

Too bad I'm working the 26th. Could've used my F1 turned Champ car ticket.
