Pook talks to Formula 3000 teams
There are rumors in the United States that CART chief executive Chris Pook has been talking to a number of Formula 3000 team about the possibility of them switching to the US-based open-wheeler series next year.
CART needs to find more cars as several teams have already moved to IRL and others are expected to follow next year. In addition several of the existing teams are struggling for money in CART.
CART continues to argue that it is the only series which offers drivers the chance to compete on ovals, street course and road tracks and that it has some of the most exciting open-wheel racing in the world.
These points are both true but the deciding factor will undoubtedly be money...
