Champ Car schedule could change in 2008

Besides plugging the two huge gaps in the 2007 Champ Car schedule, we are hearing that the Las Vegas GP will probably still be on the first or 2nd Sunday in April next year, though originally it was thought that the race would stay on Easter Sunday, a date which varies from year-to-year. We also hear that interest is so high from cities wanting a Champ Car race that we can see as many as 3 or 4 new races added to the schedule in 2008 but one of the weaker events might get axed.

Apparently Athens, Greece will not be one of the new events added in 2008 as the plan to hold the race at the old airport has changed and an alternate location was looked at but has some other issues.

Rumor also has it that Long Beach is considering adding more grandstand seats in 2008 because of strong ticket sales.
