Default CART: A step forward, yet a step, or two, back (factual data, you may be interested in)

If you been keeping up with CART, you then know that things are changing, they are going NA in 2003 (naturally aspirated).

And you also know that HONDA is pulling out at the end of 2002 (1step) AND
TOYTOA maybe pulling out also (maybe 2step).
That leaves FORD.

seeing that nearly all the auto manufacturers in the world race in at least ONE series whom is CART going to ask for engines in 2003, and are penske and team KOOl green going to stick with foreign manufacturers.

If anything INFINITI would be a prime candidate for CART in 2003 but their IRL cars sound like crap to begin with so i don't see CART going to them.

NOR do i see an interest in CART for spectators if it becomes
FORMULA FORD: CART edition Racing Series.

I admit to me this is interesting news and i will be following it.

Honda won't be in CART anymore??!! Now there definitely won't be a reason to watch CART racing!!

Just having Ford engines would truly suck, too. Ford has such a poor history in open-wheel racing.

YES, this is no lie, check any motorsports website and look up CART you will see headlines about HONDA pulling out.

actually that is also true, if HONDA is pullling out, would there be a need to be competitive in 2002, should we still watch CART?

Except when they were with Lotus
