That's what I could learn from a friend of mine who lives not far from Ganassi's HQ:
1)TG is upset with the current IRL leadership
2)They've put him out, yet he's still an important stockholder
3) Therefore he wants to get even
4) That's why he considered seriously a proposal coming from Ganassi, who's having a strong redundancy on staff and machinery from his Nascar outfit
5) They have secretely contacted the team owners promising a new cheaper chassis: some of them welcomed the perspective, some didn't
6) Unfortunately their project ( a formerly 3 wheel triangle car, then transformed in a 4 wheel one, but still with a very narrow forward track) has been considered a cr@p by Honda, cos of its high unsafety
7) Nonetheless they are still concurring, given TG's role in the Hulman family
8) The only credible alternative seems to be dallara who have probably already submitted a different project.
IRL have taken time to take a decision, and they have quite much, since the new car is scheduled to start in 2012
