American sport fans are startled: our Kenan dominates their sport! After winning the Motorola 300, Ardaoglu has a dominating lead in the championship standings and according to our columnist Nick Heidfeld is the number one favourite to win the championship. After Sebastian [Vettel]'s third F1 world title last year, Germany continues to be the strongest force in racing.

That is cool, would save me the work - although if you do that, would you mind if I retcon the series to have always taken place in 2014?

And, off we go to this big oval in India.

Rockstar Engineering currently has 77.000$. I'm not too conclusive yet, whether you can sell you chassis for a full price, or only for half the price. Because selling used chassis or engines for a full price would make things too easy, in my opinion. But maybe you think otherwise.
ESPN wrote:McReynolds takes pole - again!
Ryan McReynolds took once again the pole for tomorrow's Cessna 400 at the Kansas Speedway. The young Canadian delivered a pretty fast lap around the 1.5 mile long oval, being two tenths faster than second placed Ralf Schumacher. The big disappoinment of the qualifying was Dave Anderson. The two-time race winner qualified only on 30th place, thus he'll have to do some hard work if he wants to pass Kenan Ardaoglu in the points standings. Said Ardaoglu qualified on 4th place, giving him a good chance to build up his points lead.Qualifying for the Cessna 400 from Kansas Speedway

How much money does Cassidy Racing have to spend, and can we spend it on things other than the chassis or engine? If not, can I buy new ones but pretend it's just an upgrade and that I still have the Panoz-Toyota combination?

Normally I planned it for the off-season, but when several teams demand it, I gonna think of a fitting rule for that. Perhaps you can upgrade your driver after the Texas 400, but only if I can be sure that the majority of teams here are in favour of it.

Jack Arute: "I'm here with ICS president Walther Williams, and we're going to talk about some issues with the ICS. But first, I wanna ask you about your opinion of the first couple of rounds of this season."
Walther Williams: "Well Jack, I think we have seen great action so far. There were exciting battles in each race, and I think that we can keep up with this performance."
Arute: "But there are some issues here, such as the high attrition rates at each race, caused by accidents or technical malfunctions. How do you want to counter these?"
Williams: "There isn't much we can do about the technical malfunctions for now. But I'm definitely gonna do something about driver quality. Don't get me wrong, we have a very competetive grid here, but I think the guys need some extra training in order to avoid situations that can potentially lead to disaster."
Arute: "What will the extra training look like?"
Williams: "I have decided to lift the testing ban a bit. I'm gonna allow teams to do their own special testing sessions, in order to sharpen some skills."*
Arute: "When will these special tests take place?"
Williams: "The week after the Mobil 1 400 at the Texas Motor Speedway."
Arute: "But there are some more issues with some chassis manufacturers."
Williams: "Yes. Lola and Reynard weren't too pleased with the lack of demand for their 2015-spec chassis. They even threatened to pull out after this season. I could make them change their minds, but I can understand their anger. They have produced lots of new chassis, but no one is willing to buy them."
Arute: "Do you have a solution for that."
Williams: "Of course I do. And here is the offer for any owners of a pre-2015-spec Lola or Reynard. I'll give you 50% of the original price of your chassis, when you purchase a 2015-spec Lola or Reynard."
Arute: "Why doesn't this offer apply to Panoz or Swift owners?"
Williams: "Because Panoz and Swift doesn't seem to have problems to sell new chassis. But I talked to Panoz and Swift before this interview. Naturally they weren't too pleased, but they agreed to my proposal as long as it keeps the competition on board."
Arute: "Well thank you Mr. Williams for this interview, and we now go back to our newsroom."

ESPN wrote:ICS President enters the series as a team owner!
ICS President Walther Williams has announced his entry into the Indy Championship Series as a team owner. Starting from the Indy 500 on, he'll enter all races for the rest of the season. While his choice of a brand-new Lola B15/00 makes sense, his Aston Martin engine doesn't. "Well, Aston is serious about developing their Indy engine, so I decided to assist them in doing so.", explained Williams, yet he owed the journalists some answers about the alledged unreliability of the engine.
The new "Williams-AMR" team will field two drivers. One driver will be last year's USUC (OT: Subtle, isn't it...) Sprint Car champion, O.N. Duck III., grandson of the legendary race driver, O.N. Duck. The other driver will British veteran driver John Bean. "Mr. Bean" isn't known for his speed, but for his ability to bring his car back in more than just one piece. "I think we've made the right choice with our drivers. One young rookie who can push the car to its limits, and one veteran who can help develop it.", expressed Williams, although it remains to be seen whether he'll be right with his word.
