The major stock holder in the Rockingham Speedway venture has announced that he will file suit on behalf of the investors with the European Courts in an effort to block the Lausitzring from gaining German government backing to hold the one European CART event to be held next year. Apparently the case has valid standing because it violates competition rules set forth that limit government support in private business ventures. CART itself could be named in the suit as the stockholders claim to have a gentleman's agreement with CART to hold the race at the Northhamptonshire circuit.
I think CART needs to go ahead and hold a race at each of the circuits one week apart to limit their travel time and get the best of both worlds. Mercedes gets to have a home soil race (like all the other manufacturers) and the Brit race fans get a chance to see super high speed oval racing.
