Paul Stoddart, ex-Minardi F1 team owner, put in an appearance at the Surfers Paradise Champ Car race over the weekend. Whilst at the race, he expressed an interest in making a racing comeback in the series, particularly as the 2007 season will see everyone using the new Panoz chassis meaning all teams will start on a level playing field – something which is particularly appealing for new teams. Stoddart still owns the Minardi name so could we be seeing the return of Minardi to racing?
