Official
Obviously, there can only be one official site, and here it is straight from the offices of Champ Car. There is a separate official site for the Champ Car Atlantic Series.
Independent
One of the driving forces behind Seventh Gear, Mark Cipolloni, left to form his own web site. In many respects, it's just like the original Seventh Gear. However, Mark has expanded out to other forms of racing including F1 and NASCAR, while at the same time kept up his contacts in Champ Car, making his rumors and news pages as good as any. It is now a subscription site.
Television
It's not what it used to be as the SPEED Channel has sold out to the NASCAR masses and dumbed down just about everything on the air. However, they still have some good news content and commentaries.
Web
One of the original racing web sites, motorsport.com is still going strong, and thank goodness for that. Contains up to the minute results as well as news bits, press releases, etc. Also, contains a history and results database area.
Community
What else is more fun than picking on the IRL? Doing it with other Champ Car fanatics. A very strong community of fans has developed from this site, which is now hosted by champcarfanatics.com.
All Around
An okay site for all types of racing even though it does concentrate more on NASCAR, but then what all around site doesn't. Includes columnists and games.
Newspaper
Where else are you going to get the best newspaper racing coverage than the Indianapolis Star/News? Unfortunately, they seemed to have turned their back on the sport that made their city and themselves great, so we no longer give them a high recommendation. But, they still have a decent level of racing coverage if you still want to check them out.
Spanish
With more and more hispanic fans catching Champ Car fever, they need a site of their own, and this one is solely dedicated to open wheel racing.
Formula One
If you think there are a lot of CART sites, you should see how many exist for F1. Even just the news sites. Here is the official Formula 1 site put out by the Formula One Administration. Planet F1 is one of the better independent F1 news sites.
American Le Mans Series
The official ALMS site, the top sports car series in North America. There is also the official 24 Hours of Le Mans site put out by the ACO. The Race Site is an excellent sports car racing news site for all levels of competition, from club racing up to the pros.
World Rally Championship
Perhaps the most exciting racing on the planet today. Here is the official WRC site put out by the FIA. Rally Sport is an excellent independent WRC news sites with stage by stage results and reports.
