Even though it was already clear Champ Car was working on a return to Europe, it's great to see it officialy confirmed. This year's calendar now features 17 races, the new car is looking great. Can't wait for the season to start in Las Vegas.

For Assen & Zolder, I'll be at both. I live almost exactly in between both circuits

Finally the "World Series" part makes sense

Champ Car is quite a cool series, it's nice that they are going to other locations.

w00t thats nice

Come visit Denmark !.

You could race on.... hmm ... uhmm... meh

we dont got any propper race tracks

and it will drive to China

If they wanted real track in Europe, they should have gone to Brands, Snett, Oulton or Donington!

To dig up an old topic, the Euro Tour was succesful enough for Champ Car to come back again next year and even add a third race in Jerez. Spain here I come! Maybe anyone from Spain knows more about how this deal got into place? Anyway, I look forward to visiting Spain next year

champ car round the final turnof Assen TT would be very interesting, but I bert it gets changed and flattend out

As I said this is an old thread, so they raced their last season.

The chicane was left as it is. On friday several drivers where struggling to find a good line and one or two spinned their, but no incident happened in the race.

The best story of the weekend was the USA national anthem. Turned out that the guy who was supposed to sing the American and Dutch anthem only thought he had to sing the Dutch one. He didn't even knew the words for the American anthem. So the circuit announcer had a go at it:

I'm not familiar with Assen, but for safety reasons? Obviously Champ Car doesn't run on the world's safest tracks (Road America )

Now that bourdais is gone we should see much more competition at the front.
