As much as Id like to see the old school 90s chassis wars back, in the IRL it will not happen.

And whatever this new series is, Ill believe it when I see it.

Would have made a million times more sense to nail the old A1 lola chassis since it actually has long term potential and not some which once they are crashes, that's it.

A publicity stunt which has the upward momentum of an ostrich with an anvil tied to its leg.

Urgh no thanks. Hopefully they all get destroyed in a massive explosion of some sort. Horrible things.

It could be a good idea, I like the idea of a multi-class Indycar Series but there are going to be four major problems.

1. Sponsorship
2. Getting respectable drivers/teams
3. Getting TV coverage
4. The name GreenPrix isnt gonna get you anywhere.

No, I'm pretty sure that, at their core, the A1GP cars were F3000 cars with different bodywork on them...

Disappointing news...Green Prix and Atlantics recieved some bad news. Ben and his group have been hard at work getting cars ready for on track action for the event in Savannah. However they were denied insurance for the event do to circumstances with the track. So no cars will be running..bummer.

What about the Autobahn race? That's something I'd be interested in going to.
