As we predicted on October 21, media mogul Ben Johnston, who just purchased the Atlantic series from former Champ Car owners Kevin Kalkhoven and Gerald Forsythe, has also bought numerous Reynard and Panoz race cars as he plans to promote a new race series that will be call the Green Prix USA.
This new series' goal is to bring back premiere open wheel racing at all levels and also provide a platform for all green initiatives involved in automotive performance.
The first race of the 2009 season for the GreenPrix USA Cars and the Atlantic Series will be March 13-15 in Savannah, Georgia on St. Patrick's Day weekend.
GreenPrix USA will be environmentally focused through the development of racing criteria coupled with green technology that will include: use of ecologically designed/friendly fuel sources, cut-back/regulation of GHG emissions and overall reduction of energy and petroleum displacement.
