Paul Stoddart could race back into the world of open-wheel racing with his own Champ Car squad. source: paddocktalk.com - rumors The Australian entrepreneur, after selling his Minardi team to Red Bull ahead of the 2006 season, is reportedly linking up with backer Harry Muermans, a staunch supporter of Stoddart's F1 effort. A debut in the 2007 Champ Car season, the premier open-wheeler championship for American road courses, is possible, according to Dutch grand prix publication 'Formule 1 RaceReport'. ''It is still very early to say,'' Muermans, supporter of the F1 careers of Jos Verstappen and Robert Doornbos, was quoted as saying. Muermans was, however, spotted at the recent Champ Car event in Portland, where he reportedly met with series owner Kevin Kalkhoven. The PaddockTalk Perspective: Including Kevin Kalkhoven - co-owner of the Champ Car World Series - Stoddart would make the third Champ Car team owner with Australian roots. Team Australia's Craig Gore teamed up with existing team owner Derrek Walker last season.
