Sounds about right. I saw a couple things at the beginning of this month saying that he was tipped to join but nothing since

There's a lot of drivers on market. Depending on if the Mexico race goes through, I'd tip my hat towards Gutierrez getting a seat in Ganassi.

I think Chip wouldnt take Gutierrez unless the money comes with him to be honest, I just don't see talent in him. But that's me
 
Thanks for creating a new thread Jake! I don't have as much free time as I did when I created the first Champ Car World Series thread here back in 2006 which became the archived 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series thread. We've all definitely come a long way since then from the darkest years of the split to re-unification to the most competitive racing series in all of motorsport. On to 2018! :gtpflag:

I completely forgot it was ChampCar initially. Definitely is time for a new thread and one every year.
 
Organised the cars into far more structured spoilers rather than the ugly headings. Done the same with teams.

Derp. Double post.

I expect CGR to be a 2 car team. Chip is tired of fielding a team of ride buyers and would rather have 2 aces.

The benefit of that could be more resources pushed to Dixon and TBD instead of stretching the team thin between 4 drivers
 
Could Hinch move to CGR? I feel like his talent is a little wasted at SPM...

He could, but I doubt he will. SPM is set to get a higher level of involvement from Honda so that should help their development.

The money is why Gutierrez is so appealing.

That's true but like the above statement. Maybe CGR is done with pay drivers. I mean just look at Charlie Kimball

It's a combination of the money and the rumor of Indycar hosting a race in Mexico City next year. If the race happens, expect Gutierrez in Indycar somewhere but not necessarily CGR IMO.

How are cars,teams, and drivers spoilers? That's vital information for all fans especially newer fans. :lol:
 
I still banking on Hartley. Also isn't he and Dixon running the 24 hour together with CGR?

No, he didnt race at Daytona this year. He has drive with ESM though at Sebring and will race with them at Petit.

OK that is wrong, he did race with ESM at the 24.

Sorry let me specify for next year isn't he?
I knew he didn't this year and is with ESM this year

If he is signed then it I would bet he will be in one of the GT's if Chip brings back 3 cars for the 24. Otherwise it will be Seebass.
