MOTOROCK! or something

Grand Prix.com and "Another Racing" website have similar articles published. Sip's site has more info though.


In a nutshell.

---The three groups buying CART are the Ecclestone group, the Forsythe group and the Gentilozzi group, each talking 1/3. ---

---The Gentilozzi group is called Motorock (owned by Paul Gentilozzi and Jamie Rose) which will not only own a part of CART, but will also put on very big concerts in conjunction with each CART race.

---Almost all races will be urban events with racing and rock concerts mixed in to bring the paying customers the best in entertainment, nightlife, hotels and dining. ---

I guess they are going to leave "racing" to the other series.

Well, they'll each be producing a "show" of some kind or another. I don't think I'd call either a real race.

Why not sell the mess to Clear Channel Entertainment if you're going to go this route?

The whole thing strikes me as turning a racing series into a high-octane equivalent of RibAmerica.

If they really do go with this "RaceJoke" thing...I hope they just retire the Cart name.

This is just sad.

I understand that CART has to do whatever it can to survive. But this is not something that I want to watch. I am hoping that this isn't true.
