Champ Car World Series (CCWS) - Series History
  |
The current Champ Car World Series (CCWS) was originally the Championship Auto Racing Teams - CART which started operations in 1979. It had been known as the CART PPG IndyCar World Series, the CART FedEx Championship Series, and, in the organization's final year, (2003) the Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered By Ford. Afetr the 2003 season CART's shares had plummeted and it declared bankruptcy. The assets of CART were to be liquidated. Tony George (IRL) made a bid for certain assets of the company, while a trio of CART owners (Gerald Forsythe, Paul Gentilozzi, and Kevin Kalkhoven), along with Dan Pettit, calling their group the Open Wheel Racing Series (OWRS), also made a bid. The bankruptcy judge ruled that the OWRS group should be the purchaser of the CART assets. |
| Beginning in 2003 the series began to promote itself as Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford. Under the new owners the series name was retained until the end of the 2006 season when Ford removed it's sponsorship. In 2007, with the withdrawal of Bridgestone and Ford Motor Company as presenting sponsors, the official name of the top-tier series promoted by Champ Car became simply the Champ Car World Series. | |
