Cross-Atlantic Update

More news that I commented on a couple of posts back from America.

The talk of Champ Cars and the Indy Racing League appears to be on according to US journalist Robin Miller from SPEEDTv. ‘Closer than ever’ are the words been touted around about it. About time I say! Judging by the reports talks seem to be progressing fairly well with only a few stumbling blocks that need to be sorted out. Granted the Champ Car teams would be at a disadvantage for the first year with the combined series but like veteran Paul Tracy says, it’s better to get everyone under the one roof. Sure they could wait a year but with the way the single seater top tier is, getting everyone in now would provide fans with a mouth watering prospect for 2008.

Daytona 500 is next weekend! I’m going to be able to watch it too! Pretty happy about that too. Sky Sports have picked up NASCAR meaning I have the chance to watch it. It’s been years since I’ve had the chance to watch live NASCAR and am thoroughly looking forward to sitting down next Sunday to watch the 50^th running of the event.
