Forza Speed is not a small cable station, and Rob Miller Hates Tony George - hey doesn't everybody! I dont think a lot of stations are queing up to show the CCWS anyway so sour grape - not. No I think the article has the credibility to see the troub…
Rob Miller is a well respected sports writer. I believe he may be putting a slightly light hearted look but at the same time tells it as it is. I did not catch speed tv's news story on the CCWS problems but the series in in deep trouble. IRL seems t…
RJ I see where you said Two teams to cheer for. But am I right that the Champ car series is going to be the dominant discusssion here? Why are you wiping away the history of the team? The Minardi name is after all Italian. Interestingly I read a art…
DST have you seen the top 10 sports in the USA based on TV viewers published by SI? Just confirms what I said-
1. NFL
2. MLB
3. NBA
4. Nascar
5. NHL
6. NCAA Football
7. NCAA Basketball
8. IRL
9. WNBA
10.USPGA Golf
See CCWS does not have the viewers…
DST Lets agree then to dissagree OK. I look at the Champ car series from a purely commercial and media position. It is how you judge a successful series I guess is where we dissagree. There are good points with CC, Low costs, same cars and it's expa…
dst you are obviously a Champ Car fan and I dont want to argue with you as you have valid points. You must agree that without a larger fan base both IRL and Champ can never grow to their potential. NASCAR has it sown up at the moment ( my first exp…
dst I stand over what I said. CC is a series which is 3rd in 4 wheel racing in the US. Fact is everything goes to viewing figures and TV time and attendance. Why is it behind IRL - Ovals bring more butts on seats. Although we wont go into Tony Geor…
I agree with you but over here its TV ratings that matter and the truth is when motorsport matters NASCAR is the big one. Have you ever been to a NASCAR event? Fanatical is how I would describe one. If F1 got more mainstream coverage and the racing …
Forzaminardi my friend Jonathan Noble at Autosport is one of the most respected journalists in motorsport. I would have no reason to doubt him in what he says. This morning he sent me an email which without going into detail was from Graham Jones a…
God Night work sucks! My friend at Autosport ensures me there is and has been no contact between Stoddart and GCM. He was speaking to Giancarlo's secretary who said a press release will be forthcoming but GCM has no involvement in the champcar serie…
One thing I'm interested to see is what livery the cars will run. Maybe Orange/Black and white for Muermans on one car is a good bet. The other two should be interesting and most probably will be Wiggins job to get the other two cars sponsored. I c…
Biker where did you hear about the STR Budget? During my research for an article I am doing it is impossible to get any information relating to Red Bull/STR's expenditures either past or in the future.
I read on Minardiusa.com that Rodriguez is being watched by Renault. Very good news for him and I guess the Minardi team. Am I right in saying he is managed by Mr Minardi?
"I don't think alot of yanks will associate "Minardi" with Paul Stoddart, or are aware of the name in the history of F1.
I think its time for a new start Paul. "
Exactly what I tried say. Minardi has a small (But very Loyal) following in the US. P…
"so where does that put Newman/Haas and Dayle Coyne? Besides, there already is a Team Australia"
Hey I am just saying Champ car is well below NASCAR over here. A big majority of fans only know the drivers or the cars Like Bourdais drives a McDonald…
I dont think Paul would gain much by entering in Champ Car as Minardi. In Champ car the sponsor rules and it would be most unusual for any team to call itself by the team name. Personally I think he should go for a big Aussie sponsor like Qantas or…
