Over the last few years, open-wheel car counts continue to be on the minds of observers source: paddocktalk.com - rumors Formula is adding a two-car team in 2006, to bring their series to 22. Champ Car is expected to stay at or around 18 for the 2006 season. While the IRL IndyCar series is back under the microscope with the departure of Toyota, and Chevy. Currently, there are 15 confirmed car driver combinations, but Panther Racing and Cheever Racing were sidelined during the recent IRL IndyCar test leading some continue to wonder about the car count. The Indianapolis Star asked IRL President Brian Barnhart what he expected in 2006. He told the publication, "I'm pretty comfortable we're going to have 18 to 20 (cars)." The PaddockTalk Perspective: Sounds good to us. 18, 20 or two. We really don't care. The more the merrier, but any competitive race can be enjoyable to watch!
