Superleague to replace Champ Car race
The screaming V12 of the Superleague cars will woo the crowds in Assen soon |
Rumors out of Europe say that Assen race promoter Bart Rietbergen is negotiating with the new Superleague to replace the hugely successful Champ Car race in Holland this year since the merger with the IRL has resulted in no Europe races on the 2008 schedule. This of course is a huge mistake by the IRL since the Assen race had more fans in attendance than any American open wheel race outside of the Indy 500 and Surfers Paradise. It is our opinion that the IRL powers to be must not overlook the European market.
