Closer to 30. Current IRL grids are actually pretty healthy.

I am going to deduce that building just one of these isn't the plan, but step one in replacing something like FLM or some stand alone series?
Panoz spent nearly 10+ million on developing the new abruzzi so that it could run a parade lap at Petit, run 20 minutes at Sebring, and then be canceled. What makes you think that this will be anything more than a hyped up car that runs an hour at le mans and then disappears? Delta wing and their crew put some money into coming up with this thing, they're gonna find somewhere to run it at least once.
