Hey, was watching a Speed program while exercising, and saw the new IRL car (2012); looks amazing. Rather than looking like a mini F1, will look a lot better IMO. No more rear wing; looks like they'll generate downforce by the shape above the rear wheels. Probably not enough for F1 levels (sadly), but at least they'll be unique looking again .
That's cool, but IMO CART/IRL has irreversibly gone down the toilet. It's really sad - there were so many great drivers in CART back in the day (Nigel Mansell, JP Montoya, Villeneuve [eh], Andretti, Fittipald...) . I have alot of great memories seeing these guys and others live in action at Long Beach and Laguna Seca, but it seems like around the time Mansell left, the whole thing started crumbling, and was coincidentally around the time I became interested in F1!

Hmm, Long Beach...why didn't F1 choose that instead of Austin?? It's short but fast, and is usually a pretty exciting race.
