Whilst it is true that there are already a number of single seater categories racing in Europe, I would argue that the IRL can offer a different product over its competitors which could see a couple of European races become a success, for as has been said, they could race at the Rockingham or Eurospeedway ovals. I suspect that any move would be sponsor driven and whether there would be sufficient exposure in Europe and the US to make such a race viable.
