CART had hugely popular events, four major motor manufacturers backing it, professional teams and big sponsors, and look at where it was in 2003.
Having Ford back involved is great, but it hardly secures the future of the series in any way, shape or form.

Not sure you can compare CART with supercars....population of Oz 25 mill...population of US 300 mill.
add to that the the yanks love their cars racing ie more 300k to a race day.
then you can see the payback of getting a depressed asset going again in the states will give a much greater return.
The issue here is that a racing series with one marque will not have any following.
But again...the public arent the people purchasing....it will be business people and business people are looking for a return on their investment
