Jos the Boss??? He'd actually be very good for the sport IMO, and he'd
pack the stands with Dutch fans at the Assen race if it comes to pass.

Jos is Boss has been in every gravel or sand trap in Europe already. Put
him on a street course and you have a guaranteed FCY just waiting to happen.
It was almost as certain as overall race speeds going up when the "king"
retired. Champ Car needs younger better talent.

*Minardi Team USA* :-)
Paul Stoddart has been confirmed as a Champ Car World Series team owner
for 2007.
The Australian, who owned the Minardi F1 team from 2001 to 2005, before
selling it to Red Bull last year, has bought a controlling interest in
CTE Racing-HVM to form a multi-car team called Minardi Team USA.
The driver line-up has yet to be confirmed, but Keith Wiggins has
previously told autosport,com that if the proposed merger happened, they
would run 'three or possibly four cars' in 2007.
In making the announcement, Stoddart said: "After taking a year off from
motor racing following the sale of Minardi, we've had a chance to
consider our options and examine how we might want to be involved with
the sport in the future.
"After a lot of deliberation, we've come to the conclusion that Champ
Car, with its blend of highly competitive, cost-effective racing and
relatively level 'playing field', offers easily the best way forward."
Wiggins, who owned the Pacific F1 team, welcomed the decision.
"This is an exciting progression for our company, which will allow us to
take it to the next level" said Wiggins. "It puts together all the
elements we have established at HVM, continues the progress with the CTE
program and adds the resources and talent that Minardi brings.
"The chemistry between Paul and I is extremely good and I am looking
forward to the stable long-term future."
President of the Champ Car World Series Steve Johnson declared: "The
addition of an owner with a proven racing background like Paul Stoddart
only strengthens the series.
"Combining his experience and resources with a team that showed last
season that it can win races provides even more reason to be excited
about Champ Car's future."
