V8's in North America?
It could happen sometime provided they get the money together.

You know, if there is a V8 Supercars race in the USA, maybe it could be a way of saving the Falcon or it might make Ford give their forthcomming world large car RWD.

I believe they do a double header with the Grand Am at present.

that was when they ran on a Sunday and Cup had a weekend off, with Grand Am running the Saturday, but they aren't this year as the Cup is on the Sunday at Michigan so Montreal is the Saturday

True that and at least Laguna has some "Euro" style pit garages (like we have in Australia) so the teams could operate in the normal way. Most Nth American tracks have a pit wall but no garages so that presents some logistical issues that need overcoming.

...but also allows everyone to pit at once, no queuing behind your team mate.

As far as tracks with ''Euro'' pits, that gives you the choice of a few tracks:

Already in place:
Laguna Seca
Indianapolis
Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve

Will have proper facilities in the future:
Austin (New F1 track)
Sonoma (WTCC event next year will require the Euro facilities)

How about a street race? IndyCar is trying new places and might need help in filling the card. For example, they may run at Houston soon, but the ALMS will go to nearby Oklahoma instead.

So?? Friday/Saturday running in the US time zones means early morning Saturday/Sunday live TV time in Australia, seems like the way you would run it rather than try and race on a Sunday in the US and end up being shown on Monday here..

well we are all dreaming at the moment and playing "what could" so you never think about the costs and who foots the bills


No doubt TC would want to sell the yanks the rights to run the COTF over there in some capacity so some deal will be worked out when the time comes...

Why? Only conjecture at this stage and IF a deal for a race over there were to happen I guess that would be discussed then - subject to commercial confidentiality of course.

read the article, a lot of support from fans, a bit of negative from some others.

like the one, " gee Mr GM man thats a nice Holden, where can I buy one, sorry son they make in Downunder not here" or something like that

mostly support for it to happen, seems we have soem fans over there, plus a few bagged nascar and said V8's were better.
