While Mario Andretti is credited with pushing the initial idea of using common equipment across the Champ Car and IRL IndyCar series starting in 2007, it appears that idea won't happen source: paddocktalk.com While unification talk periodically boils up in fan forums across the Internet, and everyone seems to have a take on the topic... That topic seems to be dead... at least until late-April 2006, and early-May. The Indianapolis Star asked IRL president Brian Barnhart about both topics. Regarding unification, Barnhart said no talks were happening. Regarding a common chassis Barnhart said, "We're not going to change our chassis. If anything, it will be a continuation of our chassis." The PaddockTalk Perspective: So there you have it.... Two common questions asked of both series, and the answer to both is 'No.'
