I'm really hoping we get to see Champ Car Atlantic over here. A few of us have been asking for coverage over at the Motors TV forums - go there to add your support: http://www.motorstv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?t=19

I've been really impressed by some of the names signing up over the winter. I won't be surprised to see a very close championship.
