Although his best years are past him PT is a very marketable driver for the series and it would be a shame if he didn't get a drive somewhere. However his own terms may be his downfall

This may not be the right thread to ask this question but, Does anyone know the final calender yet?
I've heard somewhere now the it will be a 20 race schedule. What are the extra 4 races, St Pete and Surfers make 2. I've been on the Indycar website but they've got nothing. |

Surely Tracy will turn up come Indy time.
A 2nd Rahal car maybe? |

I always tries to give people a fair chance before judging them, but going from the Autosport article on Tracy... It really sounds like Forsythe is hell bent on doing as much bad for the IRL as he can, seeing as PT hasn't even been able to get in touch with him for any discussions yet. His contract would surely cease to exist after Long Beach though.

PT will get a ride, even if it's later in the season. He's too marketable to not have a seat. Can you imagine the potential PT/Helio rivalry?

An entire season without NACHOOOOOOOOOOO Tracy would be absolutely catastrophic in my view. Just as Amar said, PT vs. Helio, Round 2? Yes. YES. YES!

PT will turn up, don't worry. He has a sponsor in the bag anyway. I think Rahal would be a good destination - they presumably had the equipment and crew for a two car team before Sharp left, all they need is a new sponsor and a driver.

I never thought I'd ever read PT might driving for Bobby Rahul lol, hopefully It will become a reality soon. I just wish some of the other good Champ Car Drivers were racing this year. I really sad Team Minardi USA isn't coming to the IRL. I'm a fan of Paul Stoddert but I feel really feel let down and sad about there decision not to enter. I understand though they probably didn't have the money, but I'm sure Tony George could have thrown them the cash needed for this year if that was the problem, if he really wanted to. If it was just PS saying hell no I'm not racing in the new series, then I'm not as big of fan of his as I use to be.
Hopefully he will turn up when the series has a new look. |

Tracy to bring his sponsorship $$$ to PCM - has the plus of getting Tracy AND PCM on the grid...

Apparently, in an interview on Wind Tunnel (Speed TV) over the weekend JIMMY VASSER said he may get back in the saddle for Long Beach - Maybe the bug will bite him again & we'll see an Indy entry.

I recall Cavin said on his blog that he thought Vasser was a possibly Indy entry for 09 but probably not this year.

Both Long Beach AND Motegi will count equally for points in the 'merged' series. KV racing, by splitting the team between both locations, will get double points for the weekend. This is a 'Win - Win' situation for both the fans and the teams. Rumor mill has it that Dario may run LB as well; NASCAB has the weekend off... Wouldn't that be awesome ? |

From a pure championship perspective, it would make more sense for KV to run their fulltime drivers at Long Beach, which will have a smaller grid and thus easier points, and an extra single car for the flyaway in Japan, which will probably be much tougher. Perhaps the compromise will be Jimmy and Power at Long Beach and Servia at Motegi?

As I understood it from the original merger newsconference, teams would only collect points from one venue or the other. The only reason to race at Motegi then would be to gain additional oval experience.

Would be more interesting if they jiggled the individual race timings to make the time zones fit & tempt drivers to do the double - who would be better; a worn out Justin Wilson just flown in from Japan or a fresh Jan Heylan?
