Re: the engine question
Honda vs. Cosworth.
The pro of Cossie, well, the series own it - so it's a safe and steady supply.
THe pro of Honda, is the con of Cosworth - Honda pay for themselves, Cosworth costs the management a heck of a lot of money - but if Honda walk away they're screwed (the con of Honda).
And it'd be impossible to keep Cosworth as a backup, as now without Champcar they're doing next to nothing - it couldn't survive as a business - they've already got the most powerful (and unreliable) F1 V8 engine already in the freezer.
The best solution is to get another manufacter interested in the merger, and bring someone else in. Ford are unlikely to back given their financial situation - one option could be for someone to badge those Cosworths of course, and since Chevrolet have done it before, maybe they would again.
