It appears that the IRL will have 17 races next year -- added Las Vegas and Milwaukee, minus St. Louis and the league will add two road courses in 2005 (That is just based on all the rumors here). That gives the IRL 19 races. They will likely top out at 20-22 events. Where should the next IRL expansion be?
The second part to that is what is the status of the oval in Brazil. With so many Brazillians in the IRL, is it possible to give the track in the Fittipaldi's neighborhood another try? The last go around with CART, they failed to come up with enough sanctioning fee, I think. For all of the posters who like ovals, this would be another oval to the series. It would make more sense to go there than Europe. Feel free to tell me that this just a pipe dream, but from a marketing standpoint, I think it would be worth another go.
