CityNews is reporting that the deal to end the open wheel war has sealed the fate of the Grand Prix of Toronto for 2008, at least.
The National Post quotes a statement from GP Toronto boss Charlie Johnstone saying, "The unification of Champ Car and IRL is beneficial to race fans, sponsors, event promoters and Canadian motor sports in general. Our team of staff, partners, sponsors and supporters is continuing to work diligently to ensure that Toronto's premier racing festival, the Grand Prix of Toronto, has the most solid foundation on which to build continued success for many years to come. From a sport and business standpoint, the positives outweigh the negatives."
Johnstone's full statement appears on the GrandPrixToronto.com website.
Finally... I just noticed something.
If you go to http://www.torontograndprix.com .... it immediately takes you to IndyCar.com.
That was fast.
