When the best a former champion (Paffet) can do is get a F1 testdrive and be passed over for an open race seat in his team (given LH's performance, I'm not saying this was a bad decision!), Carroll's chances of a career headed up the openwheel ladder further are slim. Champcar requires external funding these days, so there's nowhere else to go.
Perhaps from DTM he can also get a toe into sportscars if he's interested. Not really a bad route even if some knock it - observe the lineup for Peugeot at LM this year which is filled with quality just-below-F1 talent (Lamy, Gene, Bourdais, Minassian, Sarrazin, and the exception, Villeneuve).
