The end result of this deal would be a better series than either IRL or ChampCar can seriously hope to provide in the forseeable future. $100m is a good reward for 4 years' working against the tide. The teams who've been loyal to ChampCar will be well looked-after. With the DP01 having done nothing to boost car counts and at least 2 top drivers gone, ChampCar's bargaining position is far lower than it was a year ago. The IRL is noticeably in the less bad position, and seems more likely to still be functioning in 2009. As long as the invite will be extended to all the teams, I think it would be best for everyone if this offer (should it exist) was accepted.
