I don't see NHL going 4 cars. They just don't have the money to buy the gear and then hire the guys to put them on the track. As much as I would like to think otherwise, I don't believe they have a big budget to spend.

So, the Campos F1 deal fell through?

I think they could with 3 of the drivers bringing money and mickeyd's must be a fairly good sponsor. Would they want to do it with 4 lesser experienced drivers? thats the real question. Also equipment would be a question you need, what at least 6-8 dallaras to run a 4 car team.

Are there enough new Dallaras to be had ? I thought they were busy making chassis for another series, now. If all the drivers are of "lesser experience" I would think you have more damaged cars, which costs more money.

I think AGR has shown that it just doesn't work well , with that many cars, unless you have a really good list of drivers.

They only made 2 this year 1 went to AGR the other to Sarah Fisher Racing. They have a lot on their plate in addition the the IICS they build chassis for GP2, GP3, World Series by Renault, Formula 3, Grand-Am, and they're building Formula One cars for Campos GP

My god, we are finally making progress and we run out of cars. I can just see the month of May with all of these drivers and not enough cars.They will have to jog around the track to get a time.They will paint a jogging path around the inside of the track for these drivers/runners.LOL.

They only made 2 during the season....... they made more last offseason. I believe NHL got at least 1 and Foyt got 1 (that was killed in it's first race of the year, at Indy, when Vitor crashed broke his back). I would guess someone else got a new car last offseason as well. I believe NHL also got a new car towards the end of last year as well. I remember Justin talking about the weight difference in the car.
