There are about 1/2 dozen 'F2' type series' in Europe, everyone of them except GP2 are struggling for car count and recognition. Some are using older equipment (ex-F3000 car from 1999). I wonder if KK & GF can sell the organizers the Champcar name, hand them the European 2008 dates, and have the teams sell their Panoz's and spares to European Teams. I think the Euro 3000 series, which used to be Italian F3000 series, would be a perfect buyer. They have 12 to 16 cars per race, have only 5 or 6 drivers actually do the full championship and run 99 F.3000's. It would give them an edge of finding more teams and drivers to join their series. Give them more then a 'club' racing series recognition and, give drivers like Giorgio Pantano something else to do other then GP2 for the 8th season.

Superleague. Using the same chassis spine.

Besides, Pantano gets paid more in GP2 than 98% of Champ Car drivers did recently.
