Champ Car officials spoke with European publications, and the rumors of a return to Europe were on. Memorandums of understanding were signed, and it all seemed to be headed in the right direction. source: paddocktalk.com - rumors Then the venues didn't make the 2007 schedule announcement. But Champ Car officials seemed upbeat, and a two-race swing in September seemed a mere formality. The latest report on the subject comes from SpeedTV.com which sez Assen is a done deal, but that Champ Car is still working on a second date. You might also recall that an earlier rumor this week had Paul Stoddart linking up with Jos Verstappen. As for the second venue, mentioned was Zolder, Belgium, but the report sez Champ Car officials have determined there is much work to be done to bring the venue up to acceptable standards. The PaddockTalk Perspective: The report also indicates that rumors of Spa, Hockenheim, and Le Mans may all be chatted about. Our take is simply this... As much as we'd love to see Champ Cars negotiating Eau Rouge, or through Hockenheim's tough stadium section, it won't happen as long as there is a possibility that either venue may host a Formula One race. So how about a trip to France ?
