I don't want to see IndyCar as a dumping ground for GP2/FR3.5 rejects. In CART's heyday, the series could attract former F1 drivers, hell even former World Champions (Emmo, Mario, Mansell). I still think that IndyCar wasted a good opportunity with Rubens Barrichello. Not necessarily with the American market, but with the South American market, as well as F1 fans around the globe. Barrichello could have set a trend among F1 drivers, who were out of a ride in F1, to look at IndyCar instead. Maybe Paul di Resta can start setting that trend.
But as for "talents": No. IndyCar should try to foster more homegrown talent. Either young Americans or at least enough guys from the Indy Lights, so that competing in the Indy Light series becomes worth more.
