There is one problem trying to compare CART with V8SC - CART is run by Americans who do NOT belong, as V8SC do, to the FIA. Whilst CART have agreed in principle to run no new races outside of North America on road courses, this was done to appease teh FIA after the Gold Coast event started - the FIA feared that CART would challenge F1 if they were allowed to continue.
Thus CART are their own sanctioning body.
V8 Supercars, on the other hand, are ultimately sanctioned through CAMS by the FIA - to race 'all around the world' they have to become an internationally recognised series and thus an International Championship - something I don't think has yet sunk in to AVESCO - the fees are going to be astronomical. I can hear TC's whinges now asking for government assistance!
