Why has there been no mention of this series before?

I really like that car, and I believe I'll agree with MarkC ( :eek: ): it could be a great Champcar!

It used to be an F3000 series but they're building their own chasis for next year. The plan sounds very much like Champ car's plan this year. Spec 700hp engine with 1800 mile rebuild cycles.


Perhaps the most interesting point about the launch is the emergence of Force 10 Technology Ltd., a company set up in 2000 by John Travis, a former Lola and Penske Indycar designer, and Paul Cherry, who used to run Tom Weiringa's Sigma Automotive CART team before it went out of business in 2002. There is speculation that Force 10 Technology is the likely supplier of a new Champ Car chassis in 2006 when the current Lola package will be replaced. Kevin Kalkhoven is rumoured to be close to buying Cosworth Racing from Ford to ensure the series has engines in the future and the SF01 would be a good basis from which to design a new Champ Car.

And of course, saw off the airbox.
