| Description | Proposed street circuit that should host a Champ Car race at the end of 2007 season, probably from November 16th to 18th (later it has been delayed on December 2nd 2007) during Speed Festival. This proposed circuit is in Phoenix town center, around Bank One Park Ball (a sporting area). Map shown here shows preliminary proposal as it was shown by tv3nu television. As it is a preliminary proposal, official track length, direction and start/finish line are not known; length reported here is only approximated. Immediately some problems came out:
Before June 15th 2006 court of first instance gave the reason to ChampCar and to Festival organizators and Phoenix County Council commission gave a temporary consent (County Council have to give final consent) and it allocated 15 million US Dollard for next Festival and 8 million US Dollars a year for next years. | ||||
