Champ Car to Webcast Newest Announcement

Tune in to see Champ Car history in the making as the Grand Prix of China along with Forsythe Racing will make a major announcement on Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The press conference and webcast will feature journalists in China speaking with the Forsythe team representatives in the United States. To view the live press conference log on to www.champcar.ws.

Wonder what the "major announcement" is.

Maybe Ho-Pin Tung getting a ride:rolleyes:

I've come to find that a CCWS "Major Announcement" is sorta like winning a "Major Award"

yes. when the atlantic highlights film is over, your hard drive makes that "data crunching" sound, and if you press play again, you get to watch it again. whee!

I think I hear news? Unless they're discussing human rights, rape, gay and lesbians...

Update: Not news...right leaning radio...liberals, liberal news, Bill Clinton...blah, blah, blah...

I also see peop;e stsnding around and an announcing team, I think.

That was huge. A new 4 car team owned by the Chinese to promote China and Chinese companies. Things incuding tourism, the '08 Olympics and 2007 Woman's World Cup.

The "Team News" item on Champcarworldseries.com that had the live video link has now disappeared.

Actually there was some video of a press conference, they had a large graphic displaying ChampCar World Series and the Zhuhai International Circuit logos/words on it (I couldn't read the month or day part of the date but the 2007 was very clear), so there was some sort of announcement, but much like the DP-01 show, the media streaming was fubar.

sigh, its tough to be a ChamCar fan. :(

It looks like the "major announcement" is:

http://www.champcaratlantic.com/News/Article.asp?ID=2824

Jiang Tengyi will race for Brooks Associates Racing in the Atlantics this year, with FCR supplying him a ride at the China GP this year if he's a good boy.
