Champ Car and IRL still not close
Dick Eidswick, the present of the Champ Car World Series, said the two sides have been talking recently but still are far apart on certain core issues. For example, the Champ Car World Series wants to continue to hold more races outside the United States. The IRL doesn't.
He doesn't see any chance of finding common ground in the near future. "Yes, we have our differences," Eidswick said, "But we still have a willingness to talk to see if we can reach the position where we can find some sort of a solution." San Jose Mercury News [Editor's Note: Hence why our proposal works best – each division run separately except for 6 races per year. The domestic/IRL division can stay domestic and the International/Champ Car division can do its international thing. As far as we are concerned, it is the ONLY real solution right now.
