As ChampCar has a brand new car next year, teams have plenty of tiem to order them if the need arises. Nothing will be delivered to anybody until next month, and any order placed in early 2007 should get a car in time to test before the season opener.
ChampCar has much more chance of atrracting new teams for next year than IRL, so getting beyond 15 cars will probably require some support funding. Running a reduced schedule, or encouraging strong ChampCar teams to run non-clashing races, might be the only way to keep the series alive, which is a shame as ChampCar is now ovalless and the 2006 IRL title battle was a humdinger.
