I am a little bummed that Bourdais has gone to F1 now. Wasn't a huge fan but the guy was quality.
Coyne will bring Bruno I guess. Will Conquest have to find a driver more Oval friendly I wonder?
My interest is certainly peaking though.

As good a guess as any, Hazard, although I daresay the grids will come in closer to 24 - 26 cars.

But boy, it sure is nice to talk about ONE grid for ONE series!

I am actually jazzed about the test at Homestead next week!

Yes, I am buzzing now!

The car count is reckoned to end up at 24, but that is still way better than what we've had for many a year, in either series.

They must be passing out the winter coats in Hades...

Here is hoping that this season generates some excitement and re-generates interest on the part of the fans and the sponsors.

I am still just plain old gobsmacked!

great work.

It will be interesting to see how many of these cars pan out.

Also there will be some car limits at certain tracks right? Will there be a chance some cars will get bumped if 30 drivers - car combos show up at certain tracks?

Probably the old deal that used to happen, top 26 cars get a seat booked on the flight to Australia (if it goes ahead).

Or just NASCAR style, top what ever race, other guys go home.

wahey! this is amazing, the best news all week. I'm looking foward to this test at Homestead, and i am also looking foward to seeing the Champcar liveries on these dallaras, the forsythe livery should look very good on the dallara. But I do hope they get a better looking chassis.

But lets see how this season pans out, then for 09...

I would post my opinion, but as I want a bacon buttie I'll get my shotgun, it's good to see that the clay pidgeon practice I did has come to use.

Its a great day to be an open wheel fan, isn't it?

I am wondering if some of the partial deals (such as Scheckter's) will stay in play or perhaps expand.

Indy is just going to be too cool this year!

Looks like PCM wants to stay instead of going to the ALMS as some have speculated. They were working on securing Mexican sponsors, hopefully a unified series will help them in that regard.

18 cars from the IRL teams plus 12 from ChampCar seems feasible. Rocketsports and Minardi USA might not cross over, but hopefully PCM and the others will. I wouldn't be surprised if Rahal only runs one car, and you have to wonder whether it's worth AGR, Ganassi and Vision running so many cars.

Re. the number of cars, I would place the limit at 33 if possible. Try and make 33 cars as synonymous with Indycar as 43 cars is with Nascar.

Anyone got any ideas of what tracks we'd like to see? Heres mine:
Street: St Pete, Long Beach, Houston, Detroit Belle Isle, Toronto, Cleveland and Surfers Paradise.
Road: Mexico City, Montreal, Portland, Mid-Ohio, Road America, Watkins Glen and Laguna Seca.
Roval: Daytona (Speedweeks event) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytona..._Racing_League
Short Oval: Milwaukee and Phoenix
Intermediate Oval: Motegi and Rockingham (UK)
Superspeedway: Indy, Michigan and Fontana.

First of all, it's great that PCM seems to be committed to open-wheel racing in light of unification. The shortcomings of both series' feeder systems in recent years has been that teams have not been willing to take a chance on young talents because of the costs involved in bringing them up to speed at the next level. Having teams like Pacific Coast Motorsports involved will help to solve that problem.

I think 33 will be too many for some of the tracks. Perhaps 23 or 26 (not 24, this is synonymous with F1). If more than that enter, let them run around in qualifying and top 20-whatever start.

Some teams will go by the wayside if they continually fail to qualify, but then it's their job to get better.
