Minardi to run F1 two-seaters at Champ Car events

Paul Stoddart is to run his fleet of F1 two-seater cars as part of the support programme at Champ Car races this year. The cars will not be used for races but will allow VIPs and fans to have a chance to get an idea of what drivers experience when they are racing. The cars are now based in the Minardi Team USA facility in Indianapolis, alongside the existing Champ Car operation.

The plan is for the cars to appear at around 10 races this year.
