Overheard in Cleveland

AutoRacing1.com sources met up with Gerry Forsythe today at Cleveland. When asked about the status of races for Philadelphia and Houston, he said that both locations are being discussed. Both cities want to have a race, but Champ Car and the cities would have to reach an agreeable financial arrangement. Cancun is still being discussed as well…A race in South Africa was still somewhat a new idea for him, but he thought it should be pursued….He thought it would be good to have an association with the American LeMans Series, with joint races on two weekends at different venues….The Champ Car calendar is still scheduled to be announced at the beginning of August.
