hopefully he remembers how to use a steering wheel - i just dont get this US circuit racing.... F1 rules although damn it makes for alot of tired mondays...
Oval Racing is a better spectacle for the crowd as they can see the whole track and there's constant position changes. Not a big fan of it myself though, F1 will always be king by me.
I doubt they will merge but Cart will probably become a second string series over the next few seasons. IRL has the top drivers, the top teams, and Indianapolis.
