Here's my personal view on the way forward.

New championship called International Indycar Championship.

Ugly (but oval suitable) IRL Dallara chassis with a IRL engine until a joint specification car can be brought in for 2010. Unless an oval suitable version of the DP01 can be made. Change to a non-spec system but with heavily controlled rules.

Sixteen round championship, four oval races (Indy, Texas and two others), three street circuits (St Pete, Surfer's and Long Beach), nine road courses (Sears Point, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen and six others).

Merge IPS and Atlantic to become IndyCars2 using Atlantic cars that are modified to be suitable for ovals. If that can't be done, they'll skip the ovals (apart from Indy where they can run on the road course) until a new car can be developed.

IC2 could have IC2-Europe and IC2-Pacific if needed.
