Robin Miller is reporting on SPEEDTV.com that a press conference announcing the end of the open wheel war will take place tomorrow (Friday). So far, so good.
But if you thought this long-awaited announcement would end the insanity.... you would be wrong.
Miller writes: "Unless there’s a last-minute intervention by the gods of reason, the IRL race at Motegi, Japan will run April 19 as scheduled and the 33rd annual Long Beach Grand Prix will take the green flag on April 20.
And both races will count towards the 2008 IRL championship.
That’s correct. The regular IRL teams will be on the oval in Japan with their Dallara-Hondas while the Champ Car teams that are expected to compete full time in the unified series will be running their Panoz-Cosworths for the final time. Drivers will earn equal IRL points in each event...."
Only these guys could come up with that plan. Maybe they can move the Indy 500 up to April 21?
