According to a report on Autosport.com, The Champ Car World Series will return to Europe in 2007 for the first time in four years. There will be a race in Assen, Holland on September 2, and at Zolder, Belgium, on September 9.“It took a while to finalise,” commented Champ Car President Steve Johnson, “but it was important to us all to persist. We have about five times the number of European drivers as we do US drivers in our series, and so we have a great number of fans in Europe. At some venues, it takes a while to build up a strong fanbase but I’m confident that these races at Assen and Zolder will be huge successes right from their inaugural events.“
