CHAMP CAR WORLD SERIES ANNOUNCES THE ADDITION OF TWO EUROPEAN EVENTS TO
THE 2007 CALENDAR
Tuesday, January 16, 2007
The Champ Car World Series today announced that it will return to Europe for the first time since 2003 with inaugural races in Holland and Belgium.
The Champ Car World Series today announced that it will return to Europe for the first time since 2003 with inaugural races in Holland and Belgium.
Events added to the Champ Car World Series calendar will take place
September 2 at the TT Circuit in Assen, Holland and September 9 at the
Zolder circuit in Belgium. It will be the first time that Champ Car has
raced in either of the two European nations.
"2007 continues to shape up as one of the most exciting in recent memory
for Champ Car and today's announcement raises the anticipation level even
higher," said Champ Car President Steve Johnson. "We considered a number of
options for our return to Europe and these two events will prove to be very
successful for our teams, fans and sponsor partners.
"The Assen circuit, long fabled for hosting exciting Grand Prix motorcycle
events, underwent major modifications for the 2006 season, resulting in a
4.5-kilometer track that will provide a stern challenge for the Champ
Cars.
Zolder is a 3.977-kilometer circuit which also underwent safety renovations
for the 2006 season, after hosting Formula 1 events in the 1970s and 80s.
The track will carry the process a step farther for the 2007 Champ Car
visit, making further improvement to ensure a safe and challenging
event.
"We are excited to bring the American equivalent of Formula 1 racing to
Europe," said event promoter Bart Rietbergen. "Champ Car provides close
racing that is easy for European fans to understand, and they will be very
impressed with the access that they will have in the Champ Car paddock.
"The addition of the two European events brings the number of races on the
2007 Champ Car schedule to 17, marking the most races on a Champ Car
calendar since 2003. The last time that the series went to Europe served as
the coming-out party for three-time Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais,
who took his first series victories by sweeping races in Brands Hatch and
EuroSpeedway Lausitz.
