I don't know why I'm posting this as I suspect I'm the only person that cares and I'm not even going. 






Champ Car to venture into Europe for two races in 2007

The Champ Car World Series filled in what had been a two-month-long gap in its 2007 schedule with its first European races in four years, the sanctioning body will announce Tuesday morning.

The additions of the Netherlands (Sept. 2) and Belgium (Sept. 9) — the first time Champ Car has raced in either country — pushes the number of races on the schedule to 17.

"We considered a number of options for our return to Europe, and these two events will prove to be very successful for our teams, fans and sponsor partners," Champ Car President Steve Johnson said in a statement.

The Dutch race will be held on a 2.8-mile road course in Assen, a half-century-old circuit that has been home to MotoGP races for years. The renovated former Formula One track in Zolder, Belgium, will test drivers on a 2.47-mile course.
Champ Car's season gets underway April 8 with the inaugural Vegas Grand Prix.

Bavaria's Assen race title sponsorship was officially announced today at a press conference at the Bavaria Brewery in Lieshout. The official name of the event will now be: Bavaria Champ Car Grand Prix Powered by Audi, Gant & Hertz.

In addition to adding their name to the event, Bavaria will also now undertake an intensive promotional campaign leading up to the race week. Ads for the upcoming race will appear on beer bottles, beer boxes, POS displays in stores and in bars and on the Bavaria delivery trucks.

“Champ Car is getting every day more popular in Europe and the target group of Motorsports is getting wider,” Bavaria’s Peer Swinkels told ChampCarWorld.net. “The word 'Perfection’ is an important keyword. Champ Car is all about perfection; with perfection you’re able to win races. We do the same thing, we try to brew the best beer. This sponsorship is for us a win-win situation. In the Netherlands we can confirm our brand as a Dutch Brand, while the USA is a growing market for us and we could use the exposure.”

The Bavaria Champ Car Grand Prix won’t be the first time this year that the fans can see a Champ Car in action in the Netherlands. One week prior to the Belgian Champ Car Grand Prix, which takes place Aug 24-26, Champ Car will give fans the opportunity to experience what Champ Car is by giving a demonstration DPO1 ride through the streets of Rotterdam at "Bavaria City Racing" event. “All we can tell is that we’ll have a Champ Car in Rotterdam. Which car this will be and who will drive it will be announced in a few weeks,” Swinkels concluded.
