ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. is engaged in the process of orderly liquidation of its remaining assets, the winding up of its business, and the dissolution of the Company.

Upon completion of the sale of substantially all of our operating assets to Open Wheel in February 2004, most of our employees resigned and accepted employment with Open Wheel and we ceased operations. The risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual future financial results to differ materially from our present expectations or projections regarding the estimated distribution to shareholders are set forth in "Factors That May Affect Future Results."

The following information is presented primarily for historical purposes and should be read noting that the Company is no longer involved in an active business. As you read the following you should also refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in this report, as well as item 6, "Selected Consolidated Financial Data."

DISCONTINUANCE OF INDY LIGHTS

The financial results below include the operations of American Racing Series ("ARS") which operated the Dayton Indy Lights Championship series. At the end of the 2001 season, we discontinued the operations of ARS and the Dayton Indy Lights Championship series. (See Footnote 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this report.) All revenues and expenses related to the Dayton Indy Lights Championship series ceased for 2002 and beyond.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Significant accounting estimates include accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable, impairment of tangible and intangible assets, income taxes and related valuation allowance and certain contingent liabilities.

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below did not have a material impact on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. However, as we wind down the Company, our financial position will be based on a number of estimates which will have or may have a significant effect on the Company's financial condition. These estimates are subject to the risks and uncertainties which we describe in this report. Actual results, therefore, could differ from those estimated.

We review the valuation of our accounts receivable on a monthly basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on managements assessment of conditions that might impact the collectibility of accounts.

We adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets," effective January 1, 2002. The statement requires companies

14

to discontinue amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The statement also requires that we test our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment upon adoption of the statement and periodically thereafter. Our goodwill was associated with our acquisitions of Pro-Motion Agency, Inc., CART Licensed Products, LP, and Raceworks, LLC on April 10, 1998, January 1, 1999, and March 7, 2003, respectively. Upon adoption of the statement, we recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $1.5 million, or $956,000 net of tax benefit of $514,000, to write-off the value of the goodwill related to the acquisition of Pro-Motion Agency, Inc. and CART Licensed Products, L. P. An analysis of the goodwill associated with the acquisitions of Raceworks, LLC was conducted subsequent to the race that was held in Miami, Florida in September of 2003. The operating results and cash flows were significantly lower than expected which was an indication of impairment. The Company recognized a non-cash asset impairment of $1.3 million to write-off goodwill and other intangible assets related to the acquisition. The write-off of goodwill results from the use of discounted cash flows in assessment of fair value for each reporting unit as required by SFAS No. 142. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Our analysis are subjective and are based on conditions existing at the time the assumptions are made. Actual results could differ materially from those assumptions.

Our estimates of deferred tax assets and liabilities and their related valuation allowances and the significant items giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect our assessment of actual future taxes to be paid or tax refunds to be received. Actual income taxes could vary significantly from these estimates due to adjustments resulting from final review of our tax returns by taxing authorities.

Our determination of the treatment of contingent liabilities in the financial statements is based on our view of the expected outcome of the applicable contingency. In the ordinary course of business, we consult with legal counsel on matters related to litigation. We are involved in litigation as a part of our normal course of business (refer to Item 3: Legal Proceedings). When a complaint is filed by or against the Company, we disclose the complaint in our financial statements. When a claim against us is probable and estimable, we record the expense. When we are the party filing the claim, we do not record a gain contingency until a settlement for the claim for damages is received.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

Revenues. Total revenues for 2003 were $49.7 million, a decrease of $7.5 million, or 13%, from 2002. This was due to a decrease in sanction fee revenues, sponsorship revenue, television revenue and other revenue, partially offset by an increase in race promotion revenue and engine leases as described below.

Sanction fees for 2003 were $24.7 million, a decrease of $11.9 million, or 32%, from 2002. The decrease was partially due to a decrease in the number of races for which we received a sanction fee. In 2002, we staged 19 races and received a sanction fee from 17 of those races, compared to 2003 when we received a sanction fee with respect to 13 races. In 2003, we promoted the races in Kent, United Kingdom, Lausitz Germany, Portland, Oregon, Cleveland, Ohio, Lexington, Ohio and Miami, Florida and did not receive sanction fees for these events. The results for these events are reported in race promotion revenue and race promotion expense. In 2002, we received sanction fees from races in Motegi, Japan of $4.5 million, Rockingham, United Kingdom of $2.8 million, Portland, Oregon of $1.4 million, Cleveland, Ohio of $900,000 and Lexington, Ohio of $1.2 million. In 2003, we also entered into amended agreements with certain promoters pursuant to which we reduced the originally contracted sanction fee.

15

Sponsorship revenue for 2003 was $7.8 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 23%, from 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to the loss of our title sponsor in the amount of $5.0 million after the 2002 season, the decrease was partially offset by an increase in 2003 sponsorship income from our two presenting sponsors in the amount of $2.5 million.

Television revenue for 2003 was $1.9 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 58%, from 2002. The decrease was due to a reduction in television advertising revenues of $800,000, due to a decrease in the amount of available ads sold and a reduction in ad prices due to a decline in television ratings of our shows. In addition, international rights fees declined by $1.9 million, due to a decrease in demand for our television show and inability to sell advertising for our show in the Brazilian market which in past years had been one of our most profitable markets internationally.

Race promotion revenue for 2003 was $10.8 million, an increase of $9.4 million or 660%, from 2002. The increase was due to staging six self-promoted events in 2003 compared to two in 2002. In 2003, we promoted the races in Kent, United Kingdom, Lausitz Germany, Portland, Oregon, Cleveland, Ohio, Lexington, Ohio and Miami, Florida. In 2002 we promoted the races in Chicago, Illinois and Miami, Florida. The corresponding expenses are reported in race promotion expense below.

Engine leases for 2003, were $1.9 million with no corresponding revenue in 2002. In 2003, we purchased the engines that were used for the 2003 Champ Car World Series race season. Each team was required to use these engines in order to compete in the series. We leased the engines to the teams for $100,000 per car per year.

Other revenue for 2003 was $2.6 million, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 42%, from 2002. Other revenue includes membership and entry fees, contingency awards money, royalty income, commission on parts sales and other miscellaneous revenue. The decrease was primarily due to the discontinuance of membership, entry fees and pop-off valve leases for the Champ Car Series in 2003; a reduction of $600,000, and fewer entries in our Toyota Atlantic series which reduced entry fees and parts commissions by $500,000. In addition, there was a reduction in non-recurring miscellaneous income. In 2002, we received an insurance settlement reimbursement of $500,000 and a breach of contract settlement for $500,000.

Expenses. Total expenses for 2003 were $143.3 million, an increase of $61.4 million, or 75%, from 2002. This increase was due to higher race distributions, race promotion expenses, television expenses, merger and strategic charges, litigation expense, asset impairment and strategic charges and depreciation and amortization, partially offset by a reduction in race expenses, administrative and indirect expenses and relocation expense as described below.

Race distributions for 2003 were $60.9 million, an increase of $41.1, million or 207%, from 2002. The increase was primarily due to in 2003, we provided assistance to certain teams to ensure that there were a sufficient number of race cars competing in our series. We paid $31.8 million in team assistance in 2003 compared to $2.0 million in 2002. The increase was also partially due to an increase in participation payments that we made to all of our teams, from $10,000 per car per race in 2002 to $20,000 per car per race in 2003. In addition, for the 2003 Champ Car World Series we began an entrant support program where we made payments of $22,500 per car per race to each participating team. In 2003, we paid $14.5 million in participation and entry support payments compared to $3.5 million in 2002.

Race expenses for 2003 were $8.1 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 26%, from 2002. The decrease is partially due to a decrease in freight expenses of $800,000, related to the race in Rockingham, England in 2002. The freight expenses were related to transporting the cars and equipment for the two races scheduled to be conducted in Europe. The German promoter filed for bankruptcy in 2002 and the race was canceled; in an amendment to the original agreement for the Rockingham race, CART agreed to pay the German promoter's share of the freight charges. The

16

decrease is also due to a reduction in salaries, fees, per diems and travel expenses of $1.4 million, due to having fewer officials working the events and a $600,000 decrease related to a reduction of our pace car program.

Race promotion expenses for 2003 were $20.8 million, an increase of $11.2 million, or 115%, from 2002. The increase is due to staging six self-promoted events in 2003 compared to two in 2002. In 2003, we promoted the races in Kent, United Kingdom, Lausitz Germany, Portland, Oregon, Cleveland, Ohio, Lexington, Ohio and Miami, Florida. In 2002 we promoted the races in Chicago, Illinois and Miami, Florida.

Television expense for 2003 was $14.9 million, an increase of $4.0 million or 36% from 2002. The increase was due to a change in our television agreements from the previous year. In 2002, Speed Channel paid for the production and received the ad inventory for shows aired on their network. In 2003, we paid for the production expenses and received the ad inventory for shows aired on their network.

Administrative and indirect expenses for 2003 were $20.6 million, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 26%, from 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in, marketing and advertising of $3.4 million, sales costs related to the loss of our tile sponsor of $2.2 million, professional fees of $850,000 and salary and employee related expenses of $594,000, due to a reduction in the workforce from 2002.

Merger charges for 2003 was $2.0 million with no corresponding expense in the prior year. This expense was attributable to legal and consulting expenses associated with the terminated merger and subsequent asset purchase agreement entered into with Open Wheel Racing, LLC.

Litigation expense for 2003 was $2.7 million with no corresponding expense in the prior year. This expense was partially attributable to an arbitration settlement of $1.75 million paid in August 2003, to Engine Developments Ltd. in a breach of contract case over a contract to purchase engines, a settlement of $400,000, in a breach of contract suit filed by two former team owners, DellaPenna Motorsports and Precision Preparation, Inc., settlement of contract disputes with ESPN television over the canceled Texas Motor Speedway race of $250,000, an arbitration award to Action Performance Companies, Inc. in a breach of contract case in regard to a licensed merchandise contract of $931,000, and settlement of early termination of a sanction agreement with IMSA of $500,000, in regard to a race in Miami, Florida. The expenses were partially offset by receipt of $1.0 million from a bankruptcy settlement regarding claims filed against EuroSpeedway Lausitz for loss of sanction fees and other damages that occurred when the 2002 event was canceled as a result of the bankruptcy of the promoter.

Relocation expenses for 2002 were $1.4 million with no corresponding expense in the current year. This expense relates to moving our headquarters from Troy, Michigan to Indianapolis, Indiana.

Asset impairment charges for 2003 were $9.6 million with no corresponding expense in the prior year. The charges partially relate to impairment of long-lived assets associated with the bankruptcy of CART, Inc. and the court approved "Asset Purchase Agreement" entered into with Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC of $4.5 million. In addition, the impairment charges include the write-down of goodwill and long lived assets of $5.1 million, associated with our subsidiary Raceworks, LLC, which was the promoter of the race in Miami, Florida. In December of 2003 it was determined that it was not feasible to continue holding races in the Miami market; the impairment expense is the write-down to fair value of the tangible and intangible assets related to this subsidiary.

Depreciation and amortization for 2003 was $3.8 million, compared to depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million for 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to the depreciation

17

related to the engines we purchased in 2003 that were leased to teams in the 2003 Champ Car Series.

Interest Income. Interest income for 2003 was $1.3 million, compared to interest income (net) of $3.8 million for 2002. The decrease of $2.5 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest rates and available cash balances.

Income Tax Expense/Benefit. Income tax expense for 2003 was $427,000, compared to an income tax benefit of $7.3 million in 2002. Due to the Company winding up its business and dissolving, management does not believe that any future tax benefit will be realized, therefore, the tax benefit for 2003 has been completely reduced by a valuation allowance. The 2003 tax expense relates to foreign taxes paid where no future foreign tax credit will be realized. The effective tax rate for 2002 was 35%.

Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change. Cumulative effect of accounting change for 2002 was $1.5 million, or $956,000 net of tax benefit of $514,000. There was no corresponding amount in the same period in the current year. The amount relates to our implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 pursuant to which we wrote off our impaired goodwill.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001

Revenues. Total revenues for 2002 were $57.2 million, a decrease of $13.0 million, or 18%, from 2001. This was due to a decrease in sanction fee revenues, sponsorship revenue, television revenue and engine leases, rebuilds and wheel sales, partially offset by race promotion revenue and other revenue as described below.

Sanction fees for 2002 were $36.6 million, a decrease of $10.6 million, or 22%, from 2001. The decrease was partially due to a decrease in the number of races for which we received a sanction fee, in 2001, we staged 20 races and received a sanction fee from each, compared to 2002 when we received a sanction fee with respect to 17 races. In 2002, we promoted the race in Chicago and the race in Miami and did not receive sanction fees for these events; the results for these events are reported in race promotion revenue and race promotion expense. In 2001, we also received sanction fees from races in Nazareth, PA, Brooklyn, MI, Detroit, MI, Houston, TX and Lausitz, Germany. We did not race at those venues in 2002 and therefore did not receive sanction fees. This was partially offset in 2002 with new races in Denver, CO, Montreal, Canada and Mexico City, Mexico for which we received sanction fees. In 2002, we also entered into amended agreements with certain promoters pursuant to which we reduced the originally contracted sanction fee in exchange for a percentage of profits from the event. The sanction fees and/or percentage of profits we received were less than the sanction fees received in the previous year at the races in Corby, England, Elkhart Lake, WI, Portland, OR and Cleveland, OH.

Sponsorship revenue for 2002 was $10.2 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 18%, from 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to the loss of sponsorship income from the Indy Lights series which we discontinued at the end of the 2001 race season, as well as a reduction in sponsorship fees from one of our sponsors, pursuant to a renegotiation clause in the applicable sponsorship contract.

Television revenue for 2002 was $4.5 million, a decrease of $690,000, or 13%, from 2001. The decrease was due to a change in our television agreements from the previous year. In 2001, we received a guaranteed rights fee for both our domestic and international television rights. In 2002, we purchased the air-time, and we received the advertising revenue for our races broadcast on network television. We also received rights fees for the international broadcasts of all of our races. The advertising revenue and rights fees received in 2002 were less than the guaranteed rights fee received in 2001. The corresponding expenses are reported in television expenses.

18

Race promotion revenue for 2002 was $1.4 million, with no corresponding amount in 2001. The revenue was due to our promotion of the Chicago race which was our first self-promoted race.

There were no engine leases, rebuilds and wheel sales for 2002, a decrease of $1.3 million from the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to the discontinuance of the Indy Lights Championship.

Other revenue for 2002 was $4.5 million, an increase of $324,000, or 8%, from 2001. Other revenue includes membership and entry fees, contingency awards money, royalty income, commission on parts sales and other miscellaneous revenue. The increase was primarily due to an insurance settlement reimbursement of $500,000. The increase was partially offset by decreased membership and entry fees, and a decrease in award banquet revenue.

Expenses. Total expenses for 2002 were $81.9 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 4%, from 2001. This increase was due to higher race distributions, race expenses, television expenses, race promotion expenses and relocation expense, partially offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization, cost of engine rebuilds and wheel sales and administrative and indirect expenses, litigation and asset impairment and strategic charges as described below.

Race distributions for 2002 were $19.8 million, an increase of $1.2, million or 6%, from 2001. The increase was primarily due to a $10,000 per race participation payment that we made to all of our teams beginning in 2002. In addition, during 2002 we have provided $2.0 million in assistance to certain teams in order to ensure their necessary participation in our series. The increase was also due to an increase in the purse and year-end points fund for the Toyota Atlantics Series. The increase was partially offset by travel payments made to teams in 2001 for European travel that were not made in 2002 and a decrease in Champ Car and Indy Lights purse payments due to holding one less Champ Car race in 2002 and discontinuing the Indy Lights Championship at the conclusion of the 2001 race season.

Race expenses for 2002 were $10.8 million, an increase of $205,000, or 2%, from 2001. This increase is primarily due to freight expenses related to the race in Rockingham, England. In 2001, the freight expenses related to transporting the cars and equipment to Europe were paid by the promoters. In an amendment to the original agreement for the Rockingham race, CART, Inc. agreed to pay these freight charges. The increase is also due to increased salaries, fees and travel expenses in regards to the competition and safety departments. The increase was partially offset by the discontinuance of the Indy Lights Championship.

Race promotion expenses for 2002 were $9.7 million, with no corresponding amount in 2001. The expense was due to our promotion of the Chicago and Miami races.

There was no cost of engine rebuilds and wheel sales for 2002, a decrease of $348,000 from the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to the discontinuance of the Indy Lights Championship.

Television expense for 2002 was $11.0 million with no corresponding expense in the prior period. The increase was due to a change in our television agreements from the previous year. In 2001, we received a guaranteed rights fee for both our domestic and international television rights with no corresponding expense. In 2002, we bought the air-time and paid for production expenses for our network races. In addition, we incurred expenses to provide an international feed for all of our races.

Administrative and indirect expenses for 2002 were $27.8 million, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 22%, from 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in severance expense, marketing and advertising, professional fees for strategic planning, TV consulting and employee recruitment and the discontinuance of the Indy Lights Championship, partially offset by

19

an increase in bad debt expense, legal fees, public relations and the advance program. An advance program team visited selected race venues prior to the event weekend and invited local media and corporate guests to participate in activities at the track in order to generate excitement in the market prior to the event.

Litigation expense for 2001 was $3.5 million. There was no corresponding expense in 2002. The charge was a result of a settlement with the Texas Motor Speedway for the cancellation of a race that was to be held in April 2001.

Relocation expenses for 2002 were $1.4 million with no corresponding expense in the prior year. This expense relates to our headquarters moving from Troy, Michigan to Indianapolis, Indiana.

Asset impairment and strategic charges for 2001 were $8.5 million. There was no corresponding expense in the current year. These charges related to the formal exit plan for the discontinuance of the Indy Lights series. The charges related to the impairment of goodwill ($5.6 million) and property and equipment ($2.0 million) and $885,000 relating to provisions for doubtful accounts, severance payments and other settlement charges.

Interest Income (Net). Interest income (net) for 2002 was $3.8 million, compared to interest income (net) of $7.0 million for 2001. The decrease of $3.2 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest rates and available cash balances.

Loss Before Income Taxes. Loss before income taxes for 2002 was $20.9 million, compared to a loss before income taxes of $1.5 million for 2001 due to the items discussed above.

Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit for 2002 was $7.3 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $512,000 in 2001. The effective tax rate for 2002 of 35% was comparable to that in 2001 of 35%.

Loss Before Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change. Loss before cumulative effect of accounting change for 2002 was $13.6 million compared to loss before cumulative effect of accounting change of $950,000 for the same period in the prior year.

Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change. Cumulative effect of accounting change for 2002 was $1.5 million, or $956,000 net of tax benefit of $514,000. There was no corresponding amount in the same period in the prior year. The amount relates to our implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 pursuant to which we wrote off our impaired goodwill.

Net Loss. Net loss for 2002 was $14.5 million, compared to a net loss of $950,000 in 2001 due to the items discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since our inception, we have funded our operations and capital expenditures from the proceeds of our public offerings and our cash reserves generated from operations. At December 31, 2003, we had $4.8 million in working capital, and our primary source of liquidity was $3.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash balance on December 31, 2003 was $3.2 million, a

20

net decrease of $3.6 million from December 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily the result of net cash used in operating activities and financing activities of $69.3 million and $1.0 million respectively partially by net cash proceeds from investing activities of $66.7 million.

Our short term investment balance on December 31, 2003 was $7.4 million, a net decrease of $72.1 million from December 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to funding our operations during 2003.

In May 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party where we paid for the costs of capital improvements retained by the third party necessary to stage an event where we were the promoter. We accepted an unsecured note of $750,000 for said improvements. In November, of 2003 we terminated the contract due to certain breaches of the contract. Pursuant to the terms of the contract if future races are not held at the facility the note receivable is terminated. Therefore, we wrote off the note in its entirety.

In June 2003, the Company entered into an amendment to a sanction agreement with a promoter where we accepted a note in the amount of $400,000 as payment for a portion of the sanction fee. This note is payable in 36 equal monthly installments, bearing interest at 10% per annum, beginning January 1, 2004. The note is collateralized by all products and proceeds of all other events staged by the promoter at the promoter's facility. We have not received any payments on the note which were to begin on January 1, 2004. After an assessment of the financial condition of the promoter and other considerations, it was determined that the note should be been written-down to management's estimate of its fair value of $150,000 and an impairment loss has been recorded in regard to the note and trade account receivables for $320,139.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

In April 2002, we entered into a lease for our new corporate headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. The lease commenced on May 1, 2002 and expires on October 31, 2010. The total amount due through the life of the lease as of December 31, 2003 is $2.1 million. We have sublet this office space to Open Wheel, on substantially the same terms as our lease and retain office space for our use, at no cost. However, we remain liable on the lease.

In March 2003, we entered into a lease for office space in Miami, Florida. The lease commenced on June 1, 2003 and was to expire on May 31, 2008. The total amount due through the life of the lease was $478,198. On December 12, 2003 we cancelled and compromised the lease for a payment of $43,941 and the lessor retained the security deposit of $16,058.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2003, that remain outstanding obligations of the Company as of March 31, 2004. Certain contractual obligations of the Company as of December 31, 2003 were assumed or assigned to Open Wheel in the "Asset Purchase Agreement" finalized in February 2004. The obligations that were assumed or assigned to Open Wheel and are no longer an obligation of the Company are not included in the table below.

                                                                  Payments due by Period

In July 2002, we guaranteed a $1.8 million commercial term loan in connection with our acquisition of Raceworks, LLC. The Company subsequently assumed this loan in conjunction with the acquisition of Raceworks, LLC and has recorded the loan in its long-term debt. The principal on the loan shall be paid quarterly, starting October 31, 2003 and on the last day of each January, April, July and October thereafter, in the amount of $50,000 per quarter. Payments of principal and interest were paid for the October 2003 and January 2004 installments. The Company was in default of certain financial covenants of the loan. These financial covenants require that total stockholders' equity of the Company not be below $75 million. As a result, the entire amount of the note has been classified as current. On May 10, 2004, the entire principal of the note was paid according to an assignment and release entered into with the holder of the note.

On March 7, 2003, we acquired 100% of the equity in Raceworks, LLC. The purchase price was $1.2 million, including $473,000 of cash and a contingent promissory note of $722,000, without interest, and assumption of liabilities of $4.7 million. On December 8, 2003, the company entered into a release and settlement agreement, with the sellers of Raceworks, that released both parties from any future obligations under the acquisition agreement in exchange for payment of $361,250 in cash to the sellers. In December of 2003, after the merger agreement with OWRS was terminated, as discussed above, it was determined that OWRS had no interest in the assets of Raceworks, LLC or continuing to race in the city of Miami. The Company recognized an impairment charge of $5.1 million to write-off the goodwill and long lived assets of Raceworks, LLC.

Litigation and settlements expense was $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This expense was partially attributable to an arbitration settlement of $1.75 million paid in August 2003, to Engine Developments Ltd. in a breach of contract case over a contract to purchase engines, a settlement of a breach of contract suit filed by two former team owners, DellaPenna Motorsports and Precision Preparation, Inc., settlement of contract disputes with ESPN television over the canceled Texas Motor Speedway race, an arbitration award to Action Performance Companies, Inc. in a breach of contract case in regard to a licensed merchandise contract, and settlement of an early termination of a sanction agreement with IMSA in regard to a race in Miami, Florida. The expenses were partially offset by receipt of $1.0 million from proceeds received from a bankruptcy settlement regarding claims filed against EuroSpeedway Lausitz for loss of sanction fees and other damages that occurred when the 2002 event was canceled as a result of the bankruptcy of the promoter.

In addition, in August 2003 we paid $1.7 million to Joseph Heitzler, our former CEO, in complete settlement of all actions brought by Mr. Heitzler in claims related to his employment with the Company. The charge to expense related to this settlement had been recorded in the year-ended December 31, 2001.

Capital spending for 2003 was approximately $2.2 million. Capital expenditures included approximately $900,000 for race promotion equipment, $693,000 for engines and related equipment, $306,000 for race car chassis and improvements, $288,000 for trucks and trailers and $69,000 for computers and office equipment. No capital spending will occur in 2004.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In October 2002, we provided a deposit of $550,000 and a letter of credit in the amount of $1.7 million in regards to the production of conversion kits for race car chassis for the 2003 season. The letter of credit guaranteed that at least 20 of the kits would be purchased by our race teams. As the kits were purchased, the letter of credit was reduced accordingly. If 20 kits were not purchased by our teams, we would have been required to purchase the remaining kits and continue to sell the kits to teams as they were needed. All 20 race kits were purchased by our race teams; consequently, the deposit was refunded on February 27, 2003 and the letter of credit was canceled.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We have historically entered into transactions with related parties, because several of our directors and one of our significant shareholders are team owners. We believed that it was necessary and appropriate to have team owners involved as directors or significant shareholders of the Company because of their unique knowledge of our business. We believed that all the transactions which we have entered into with our directors or significant shareholders, were comparable to the terms that we have in the past or could in the future enter into with third parties with respect to each of these transactions. In order to avoid conflicts of interest, any of our directors who were affiliated with an entity that was entering into a transaction with us did not vote on any matters related to such transactions and, in certain circumstances, refrained from participating in any discussions related to such transactions.

Gerald R. Forsythe, a 22.9% stockholder of the Company, is one of the three principal members, of Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC, the other members being Mr. Gentilozzi and Mr. Kalkhoven, which purchased the operating assets of CART, Inc. pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, entered into in February 2004. The consideration paid to CART, Inc. for the purchase of such assets, along with the stock of Pro-Motion Agency, Ltd. and CART Licensed Products, Inc. was total consideration of $3.3 million in cash, the assumption by the buyer of $1.4 million in prize money owed to teams not affiliated with the principals of Open Wheel, forgiveness of $1.3 million in prize money due teams affiliated with principals of Open Wheel, including Mr. Forsythe and Mr. Gentilozzi, and the assumption of certain promoter, sponsorship, and other contracts. The agreement was approved by order of the bankruptcy court at a hearing held on January 28, 2004.

The following related party transactions occurred during the three year period ended December 31, 2003:

The related party transactions under "Purse Distributions, Entry Support Program and Lease Arrangements" were all payments or transactions that were made on the identical basis to all race teams, whether they were affiliated with directors or significant shareholders or not affiliated. The payments payable to related parties under the caption "Team Assistance Program" related to further assistance that the Company provided to race teams to assure their participation in the 2003 race season. The amounts payable to each race team varied, depending upon the team's ability to raise third party sponsorship, the number of cars that the team raced in 2003, their budget and other factors. The Company determined that these payments were necessary in order to assure a proper field for 2003 and believed that the amounts payable to each of the race teams affiliated with a director was consistent with arrangements that the Company could enter into with third parties. Both of these programs were developed to insure the necessary participation in the series. Without this additional funding, it was unlikely that there would have been 18 teams, which would have resulted in defaults under certain of the Company's agreements with promoters and television and could have resulted in severe financial consequences to the Company.

Purse Distributions, Year-end Point Fund, Entry Support Program and Team Assistance. We have entered into transactions with entities that were affiliated with our directors and/or 5% stockholders who were owners of our race teams. Race teams that participated in the Champ Car World Series received purse distributions on a per race basis and from the year end point fund, which amounts were paid based solely upon their performance in specific races. All of these payments were made to our race teams regardless of the affiliation with our directors or significant stockholders. Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC released CART, Inc. from any obligation relating to amounts due them for the year-end point fund and assumed the obligation to pay the year-end point fund to the other participants of the 2003 season as part of the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into with the Company as discussed previously (with the exception

of the year-end point fund due Patrick Racing, Inc.) The following table provides information with respect to payments made or accrued during 2003 by us to race teams that were affiliated with directors and/or significant stockholders of CART:

In 2003, we leased engines and provided financial assistance to every team that participated in the Champ Car World Series, including teams affiliated with our directors and/or 5% stockholders. The financial assistance payments related to two programs instituted for the 2003 season, the Entry Support Program (ESP) and the Team Assistance Program. ESP provided up to $42,500 in cash payments to teams, per race, for each car entered into the series.

The Company entered into a sponsorship agreement with Ford Motor Company, which provided in part, that Ford would lease to each of the teams Ford vehicles for their use in 2003. For ease of administration, Ford leased these vehicles to the Company and the Company subleased the vehicles to each team on a net basis. There was no net cost or benefit to the Company related to this arrangement.

The Company purchased one hundred (100) race engines from Cosworth Racing, Inc. for a total purchase price of $4.0 million and agreed to pay for track support in the amount of $1.5 million. The Company in turn leased these engines to each team on the basis of $100,000 per entrant per year.

The following table lists the amount of engine lease income we received and Entry Support Payments we made to related parties for the 2003 race season.

PROMOTER AGREEMENTS

Some of our directors or stockholders either controlled or were affiliated with others who controlled racing venues which staged CART and other racing events. We entered into the following agreements with entities associated with directors or 5% stockholders:

Carl A. Haas, a former director of the Company and a race team owner, was a principal owner of Carl Haas Racing Teams, Ltd. and Texaco Houston Grand Prix L.L.C. ("HGP"), each of which entered into Promoter Agreements with respect to Champ Car World Series races at the Wisconsin State Park Speedway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and at a temporary road course in Houston, Texas. In the second quarter of 2002 the Promoter Agreement for the Milwaukee race was renewed for the 2002 event with the promoter having the option to extend for the 2003 and 2004 years. The sanction fees payable to CART under this agreement is similar to those paid by independent race promoters. Pursuant to the Promoter Agreement, entities affiliated with Mr. Haas have paid sanction fees to CART of $1.4 and $1.7 million in the years 2003 and 2002 respectively. On May 31, 2003, CART, Inc., entered into an agreement with the Wisconsin State Fair Park to take over as organizer/promoter of the event from Carl Haas Racing Teams, Ltd. In addition, we have incurred a total of $100,000 in sales costs and $100,000 in marketing expenses in relation to our race at Wisconsin State Park Speedway during 2002. The promoter agreement in regards to the Houston, Texas event provided for races to be held starting in 1998 through 2003. The Houston, Texas race was not held in 2002 and 2003 due to construction on the temporary circuit in downtown Houston. Therefore, the promoter agreement has been terminated by mutual agreement. Carl Haas Racing Teams, Ltd. paid a $500,000 termination fee to CART and CART has received an option to acquire certain assets of HGP, used in operating the Houston event, for $750,000. This option was exercised and payment was made in January 2003.

Gerald R. Forsythe, a race team owner and 22.9% stockholder, is a principal owner of the entities which entered into Promoter Agreements with respect to Champ Car World Series races in Monterrey, Mexico and Mexico City, Mexico. These entities affiliated with Mr. Forsythe have paid sanction fees to CART in the aggregate amount of $4.9 million and $6.1 million for 2003 and 2002 respectively.

In addition, we have paid a total of $200,000 in sales costs and $200,000 in marketing expenses to these entities during 2002.

In order to change the date of the Mexico City race as requested by Mr. Forsythe's affiliated entity, we have paid another promoter $250,000. Mr. Forsythe's affiliated entity reimbursed us for $125,000 of that expense.

Gerald R. Forsythe is also a principal owner of an entity which entered into a Promoter Agreement with respect to Champ Car World Series races in Rockingham, England. The agreement provided for a race to be held beginning in 2001 through 2006. Following the cancellation of the 2002 race scheduled to be run in Germany, officials at Rockingham expressed concern regarding the viability of running a single event in Europe. In order to assure that the Rockingham event could move forward in 2002, we negotiated an amendment to the Promoter

25

Agreement which reduced the sanction fee to $2.8 million and we assumed certain costs, including freight and transportation, in the amount of $900,000. In addition, the terms of the future years of the agreement, 2003-2006, were subject to renegotiation. This renegotiation has subsequently resulted in the cancellation of the remaining years of the agreement. In addition, we have paid a total of $100,000 in sales costs and $400,000 in marketing expenses to this entity during 2002.

Floyd R. Ganassi Jr., a former director of the Company and a race team owner, is a principal owner of Chicago Motor Speedway, LLC and has entered into a Promoter Agreement with respect to a Champ Car World Series race at Chicago Motor Speedway in Cicero (Chicago), Illinois. Pursuant to the terms thereof, a Championship race was to be held through 2003. The Chicago Motor Speedway, LLC was to pay sanction fees to CART of $2.0 million for 2002 and $2.1 million for 2003. In 2002, the Chicago Motor Speedway, LLC announced the suspension of all race events at Chicago Motor Speedway. We then entered into an agreement with the Chicago Motor Speedway, LLC where we rented the track for $850,000 in 2002 and promoted the race ourselves.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS

In addition to the above, we have entered into the following transactions with related parties:

Mr. Forsythe is also a principal owner of the entity that holds our Mexican television rights through 2004. In return for these rights, we received a minimum guarantee of $325,000 and $300,000 in 2003 and 2002 respectively. In addition, we will receive 70% of the net profits, if any, until we reach $500,000, $550,000 and $600,000 for each of the three years ending 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Mr. Ganassi is also principal owner of Target Chip Ganassi Racing, Inc., which entered into an agreement by which Target Chip Ganassi Racing Inc. ran a third car for a portion of the 2002 season. Pursuant to the terms thereof, we paid Target Chip Ganassi Racing, Inc. $1.7 million for running the third car, and we received the right to sell certain sponsorship space on that car.

Ralph Sanchez, a director of the Company, is a principal owner of RAS Development, Inc. which has entered into a five year lease agreement with the Company for office space in Miami, Florida. Payments for this lease total $80,292, $97,957, $99,081, $100,045, $101,008 and $16,861 for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The lease was terminated in December 2003, as part of the wind-up of the operations in Miami for a payment of $43,941 and Mr. Sanchez retained the deposit of $16,059.

PAYMENTS TO CART

In addition to the payments described above, CART received revenues from its race teams, including those affiliated with CART directors and/or 5% stockholders, for credential, FIA licenses, drivers fees and other payments based solely on participation in CART events and CART's self-promoted event. During 2003, race teams affiliated with CART directors and/or 5% stockholders made such payments to CART as follows:

Forsythe Racing, Inc./Gerald R. Forsythe            $ 42,200
Newman/Haas Racing/Carl A. Haas                       11,300
Patrick Racing, Inc./U.E. Patrick                     60,000
Derrick Walker Racing, Inc./Derrick Walker            32,950
Rocketsports, Inc./Paul Gentilozzi                    10,750
PK Racing LLC/Kevin Kalkhoven                         39,396

26

As part of the race in Miami, Florida, a special promotion was undertaken whereby a rock music concert was cross-promoted in conjunction with the race event. An agreement was entered into with Motorock, LLC, a rock concert promoter, whose principals are Mr. Gentilozzi and Mr. Kalkhoven, who are also principals in Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC., which purchased the assets of CART, Inc. pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement as discussed above. The Company received $141,000 from Motorock, LLC., in exchange for tickets, hospitality and advertising rights at the race.

In 2004, the Company is sanctioning the races for Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC., which Mr. Forsythe, a 22.9% owner of the Company, is a principal owner. The Company receives $12,500 for each domestic race it sanctions and is reimbursed for various expenses it incurs in sanctioning the events.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

WE CANNOT ASSURE YOU OF THE AMOUNT, IF ANY, OF ANY DISTRIBUTION TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS UNDER A PLAN OF COMPLETE LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION.

Liquidation and dissolution may not create value to our stockholders or result in any remaining capital for distribution to our stockholders. We cannot assure you of the precise nature and amount of any distribution to our stockholders pursuant to a plan of distribution. Uncertainties as to the precise net value of our non-cash assets and the ultimate amount of our liabilities make it impracticable to predict the aggregate net value, if any, ultimately distributable to our stockholders. The actual nature and amount of all distributions will depend in part upon our ability to settle our liabilities or potential liabilities. We may not be successful in doing so to return a meaningful amount of cash to our stockholders.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SETTLE ALL OF OUR OBLIGATIONS TO CREDITORS.

We have current and future obligations to creditors. These include, without limitation, long-term contractual obligations and litigation claims and expenses. As part of the wind down process, we will attempt to settle our obligations with our creditors. We may not, however, succeed in doing so. If we cannot reach an agreement with a creditor concerning an obligation, that creditors may choose to bring a lawsuit against us. Any litigation could delay or even prevent us from completing the plan of dissolution. Moreover, amounts required to settle our obligations to creditors will reduce the amount of remaining capital available for distributions to stockholders.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO INCUR CLAIMS, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES WHICH WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION TO STOCKHOLDERS.

Claims, liabilities and expenses such as operating costs, salaries, directors' and officers' insurance, payroll and local taxes, legal, accounting and consulting fees and miscellaneous office expenses, will continue to be incurred as we wind down operations. These expenses will reduce the amount of assets available for ultimate distribution to stockholders, if any. If available cash is not adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, expenses and claims, we may not be able to distribute meaningful cash, or any cash at all, to our stockholders.

27

DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, IF ANY, TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS COULD BE DELAYED.

Our Board of Directors has not established a firm timetable for proposing to our stockholders a plan of liquidation, nor can we assure approval of such a plan or the amount of any distributions to our stockholders. We are currently unable to predict the precise timing of any distribution, if any, pursuant to our wind down. The timing of distribution, if any, will depend on and could be delayed by, among other things, the timing of claim settlements with creditors and potential litigation. Additionally, a creditor could seek an injunction against the making of distributions to our stockholders on the ground that the amounts to be distributed were needed to provide for the payment of our liabilities and expenses. Additionally, we could seek protection from creditors under the federal bankruptcy code. Any action of this type could delay or substantially diminish, or eliminate, the amount available for distribution to our stockholders.

IF WE FAIL TO CREATE AN ADEQUATE CONTINGENCY RESERVE FOR PAYMENT OF OUR EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES, OUR STOCKHOLDERS COULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR PAYMENT TO OUR CREDITORS OF EACH SUCH STOCKHOLDER'S PRO RATA SHARE OF AMOUNTS OWED TO THE CREDITORS IN EXCESS OF THE CONTINGENCY RESERVE, UP TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY DISTRIBUTED TO SUCH STOCKHOLDER.

If a plan of dissolution is proposed to and ratified and approved by our stockholders, we will file a Certificate of Dissolution with the State of Delaware dissolving the Company. Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, we will continue to exist for three years after the dissolution becomes effective or for such longer period as the Delaware Court of Chancery shall direct, for the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits against us and enabling us gradually to close our business, to dispose of our property, to discharge our liabilities and to distribute to our stockholders any remaining assets. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, in the event we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities during this three-year period, each stockholder could be held liable for payment to our creditors of such stockholder's pro rata share of amounts owed to creditors in excess of the contingency reserve, up to the amount actually distributed to such stockholder.

However, the liability of any stockholder would be limited to the amounts previously received by such stockholder from us (and from any liquidating trust or trusts) in the dissolution. Accordingly, in such event a stockholder could be required to return all distributions previously made to such stockholder. In such event, a stockholder could receive nothing from us under the plan of dissolution. Moreover, in the event a stockholder has paid taxes on amounts previously received, a repayment of all or a portion of such amount could result in a stockholder incurring a net tax cost if the stockholder's repayment of an amount previously distributed does not cause a commensurate reduction in taxes payable. There can be no assurance that the contingency reserve established by us will be adequate to cover any expenses and liabilities.

WE DO NOT EXPECT TO RECOGNIZE ANY MATERIAL REVENUE IN THE FUTURE

We do not expect to recognize much, if any, additional revenue. Furthermore, it may be difficult to collect receivables now that we have announced our intent to wind down.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO INCUR THE EXPENSES OF COMPLYING WITH PUBLIC COMPANY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

We have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the "Exchange Act," even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On July 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". The statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. This statement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entity". The term "variable interest" is defined in FIN 46 as "contractual, ownership or other pecuniary interests in an entity that change with changes in the entity's net asset value." Variable interests are investments or other interests that will absorb a portion of an entity's expected losses if they occur or receive portions of the entity's expected residual returns if they occur. The Company does not expect the recognition provisions of FIN 46 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In April 2003, the FASB amended and clarified financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, "through the issuance of SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 149 in fiscal 2003 did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."SFAS No. 150 modifies the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 150 in fiscal 2003 did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK. Our investment policy was designed to maximize safety and liquidity while maximizing yield within those constraints. At December 31, 2003, our investments consisted of U.S. Agency issues, letters of credit, and money market funds. The weighted average maturity of our portfolio is 152 days. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio was 278 days at December 31, 2003. Because of the relatively short-term nature of our investments, our interest rate risk is not considered significant.

ITEM 8: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes are included in Item 15 of this document.

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

(b) Upon completion of the sale of substantially all of our operating assets to Open Wheel in February 2004, most of our employees resigned and accepted employment with Open Wheel and we ceased operations. We are in the process of winding up the affairs of the Company. We currently have two employees the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and we also use temporary accounting help in winding up the Companies affairs. Subsequently, we have had a reduction in our accounting staff. We have reviewed and revised our internal controls due to the reduction in staff and change in operations and believe we have effective internal controls and proper approval and authorization processes in place.

       ----                    -----------------------------------------------         ---   --------
Christopher R. Pook,      Mr. Pook has served as President and CEO of the Company      63    January
  President and Chief     since December 2001. Prior to joining the Company, Mr.               2002
  Executive Officer,      Pook served as President of the Grand Prix Association
  Director                of Long Beach, Inc., a subsidiary of Dover Downs,
                          Entertainment, Inc. In 1973, Mr. Pook conceived the idea
                          of running a world-class automobile race through the
                          city streets of Long Beach, and his dream became a
                          reality when the initial event, a Formula 5000 event,
                          was staged in September 1975. Thereafter, the Long Beach
                          Grand Prix became a Formula One race and "The Toyota
                          Grand Prix of Long Beach" evolved into an annual event
                          on the World Championship Grand Prix circuit. Following
                          the 1983 event, Mr. Pook made a decision to change the
                          format of the Long Beach Grand Prix from Formula One to
                          CART Champ Cars. In 1996, the Grand Prix Association of
                          Long Beach, Inc., with Mr. Pook as President and Chief

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports regarding their ownership and changes in ownership of our stock. CART believes that during fiscal 2003, its executive officers and directors complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements. In making this statement, CART has relied upon the written representations of its directors and officers.

ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We have historically entered into transactions with related parties, because several of our directors and one of our significant shareholders are team owners. Since we are not engaged in an active business for 2004, it is not anticipated that there will be any additional material transactions with affiliates other than completion of the Bankruptcy Plan and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Sanction Agreement. We believe that it is necessary and appropriate to have team owners involved as directors or significant shareholders of the Company because of their unique knowledge of our business. We believe that all the transactions which we have entered into with our directors or significant shareholders, are comparable to the terms that we have in the past or could in the future enter into with third parties with respect to each of these transactions. In order to avoid conflicts of interest, any of our directors who are affiliated with an entity that is entering into a transaction with us have not and will not vote on any matters related to such transactions and may, in certain circumstances, refrain from participating in any discussions related to such transactions.

Gerald R. Forsythe, a 22.9% stockholder of the Company, is one of three principal members of Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC, the other members being Mr. Gentilozzi and Mr. Kalkhoven, which purchased the operating assets of CART, Inc. pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, entered into in February 2004. The consideration paid to CART, Inc. for the purchase of such assets, along with the stock of Pro-Motion Agency, Ltd. and CART Licensed Products, Inc. was total consideration of $3.3 million in cash, the assumption by the buyer of $1.4 million in prize money owed to teams not affiliated with the principals of Open Wheel, forgiveness of $1.3 million in prize money due teams affiliated with principals of Open Wheel, including Mr. Forsythe and the assumption of certain promoter, sponsorship, and other contracts. The agreement was approved by order of the bankruptcy court at a hearing held on January 28, 2004.

The following related party transactions occurred in 2003 and in prior years:

The related party transactions under "Purse Distributions, Entry Support Program and Lease Arrangements" were all payments or transactions that were made on the identical basis to all race teams, whether they were affiliated with directors or significant shareholders or not affiliated. The payments payable to related parties under the caption "Team Assistance Program" related to further assistance that the Company provided to race teams to assure their participation in the 2003 race season. The amounts payable to each race team varied, depending upon the team's ability to raise third party sponsorship, the number of cars that the team raced in 2003, their budget and other factors. The Company determined that these payments were necessary in order to assure a proper field for 2003 and believed that the amounts payable to each of the race teams affiliated with a director was consistent with arrangements that the Company could enter into with third parties. Both of these programs were developed to insure the necessary participation in the series. Without this additional funding, it was unlikely that there would have been 18 teams, which would have resulted in defaults under certain of the Company's agreements with promoters and television and could have resulted in severe financial consequences to the Company.

Purse Distributions, Year-end Point Fund, Entry Support Program and Team Assistance. We have entered into transactions with entities that were affiliated with our directors and/or 5% stockholders who were owners of our race teams. Race teams that participated in the Champ Car World Series received purse distributions on a per race basis and from the year end point fund, which amounts were paid based solely upon their performance in specific races. All of these payments were made to our race teams regardless of the affiliation with our directors or significant stockholders. Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC released CART, Inc. from any obligation relating to amounts due them for the year-end point fund and assumed the obligation to pay the year-end point fund to the other participants of the 2003 season as part of the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into with the Company as discussed previously (with the exception of the year-end point fund due Patrick Racing, Inc.) The following table provides information with respect to payments made or accrued during 2003 by us to race teams that were affiliated with directors and/or significant stockholders of CART:

In 2003, we leased engines and provided financial assistance to every team that participated in the Champ Car World Series, including teams affiliated with our directors and/or 5% stockholders. The financial assistance payments related to two programs instituted for the 2003 season, the Entry Support Program (ESP) and the Team Assistance Program. ESP provided up to $42,500 in cash payments to teams, per race, for each car entered into the series.

The Company entered into a sponsorship agreement with Ford Motor Company, which provided in part, that Ford would lease to each of the teams Ford vehicles for their use in 2003. For ease of administration, Ford leased these vehicles to the Company and the Company subleased the vehicles to each team on a net net basis. There was no net cost or benefit to the Company related to this arrangement.

The Company purchased one hundred (100) race engines from Cosworth Racing, Inc. for a total purchase price of $4.0 million and agreed to pay for track support in the amount of $1.5 million. The Company in turn leased these engines to each team on the basis of $100,000 per entrant per year.

The following table lists the amount of engine lease income we received and Entry Support Payments we made to related parties for the 2003 race season.

PROMOTER AGREEMENTS

Some of our directors or stockholders either controlled or were affiliated with others who controlled racing venues which staged CART and other racing events. We entered into the following agreements with entities associated with directors or 5% stockholders:

Carl A. Haas, a former director of the Company and a race team owner, was a principal owner of Carl Haas Racing Teams, Ltd. and Texaco Houston Grand Prix L.L.C. ("HGP"), each of which entered into Promoter Agreements with respect to Champ Car World Series races at the Wisconsin State Park Speedway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and at a temporary road course in Houston, Texas. In the second quarter of 2002 the Promoter Agreement for the Milwaukee race was renewed for the 2002 event with the promoter having the option to extend for the 2003 and

38

2004 years. The sanction fees payable to CART under this agreement is similar to those paid by independent race promoters. Pursuant to the Promoter Agreement, entities affiliated with Mr. Haas have paid sanction fees to CART of $1.4 and $1.7 million in the years 2003 and 2002 respectively. On May 31, 2003, CART, Inc., entered into an agreement with the Wisconsin State Fair Park to take over as organizer/promoter of the event from Carl Haas Racing Teams, Ltd. In addition, we have incurred a total of $100,000 in sales costs and $100,000 in marketing expenses in relation to our race at Wisconsin State Park Speedway during 2002. The promoter agreement in regards to the Houston, Texas event provided for races to be held starting in 1998 through 2003. The Houston, Texas race was not held in 2002 and 2003 due to construction on the temporary circuit in downtown Houston. Therefore, the promoter agreement has been terminated by mutual agreement. Carl Haas Racing Teams, Ltd. paid a $500,000 termination fee to CART and CART has received an option to acquire certain assets of HGP, used in operating the Houston event, for $750,000. This option was exercised and payment was made in January 2003.

Gerald R. Forsythe, a race team owner and 22.9% stockholder, is a principal owner of the entities which entered into Promoter Agreements with respect to Champ Car World Series races in Monterrey, Mexico and Mexico City, Mexico. These entities affiliated with Mr. Forsythe have paid sanction fees to CART in the aggregate amount of $4.9 million and $6.1 million for 2003 and 2002 respectively.

In addition, we have paid a total of $200,000 in sales costs and $200,000 in marketing expenses to these entities during 2002.

In order to change the date of the Mexico City race as requested by Mr. Forsythe's affiliated entity, we have paid another promoter $250,000. Mr. Forsythe's affiliated entity reimbursed us for $125,000 of that expense.

Gerald R. Forsythe is also a principal owner of an entity which entered into a Promoter Agreement with respect to Champ Car World Series races in Rockingham, England. The agreement provided for a race to be held beginning in 2001 through 2006. Following the cancellation of the 2002 race scheduled to be run in Germany, officials at Rockingham expressed concern regarding the viability of running a single event in Europe. In order to assure that the Rockingham event could move forward in 2002, we negotiated an amendment to the Promoter Agreement which reduced the sanction fee to $2.8 million and we assumed certain costs, including freight and transportation, in the amount of $900,000. In addition, the terms of the future years of the agreement, 2003-2006, were subject to renegotiation. This renegotiation has subsequently resulted in the cancellation of the remaining years of the agreement. In addition, we have paid a total of $100,000 in sales costs and $400,000 in marketing expenses to this entity during 2002.

Floyd R. Ganassi Jr., a former director of the Company and a race team owner, is a principal owner of Chicago Motor Speedway, LLC and has entered into a Promoter Agreement with respect to a Champ Car World Series race at Chicago Motor Speedway in Cicero (Chicago), Illinois. Pursuant to the terms thereof, a Championship race was to be held through 2003. The Chicago Motor Speedway, LLC was to pay sanction fees to CART of $2.0 million for 2002 and $2.1 million for 2003. In 2002, the Chicago Motor Speedway, LLC announced the suspension of all race events at Chicago Motor Speedway. We then entered into an agreement with the Chicago Motor Speedway, LLC where we rented the track for $850,000 in 2002 and promoted the race ourselves.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS

In addition to the above, we have entered into the following transactions with related parties:

Mr. Forsythe is also a principal owner of the entity that holds our Mexican television rights through 2004. In return for these rights, we received a minimum guarantee of $325,000 and $300,000 in 2003 and 2002 respectively. In addition, we will receive 70% of the net profits, if any, until we reach $500,000, $550,000 and $600,000 for each of the three years ending 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Mr. Ganassi is also principal owner of Target Chip Ganassi Racing, Inc., which entered into an agreement by which Target Chip Ganassi Racing Inc. ran a third car for a portion of the 2002 season. Pursuant to the terms thereof, we paid Target Chip Ganassi Racing, Inc. $1.7 million for running the third car, and we received the right to sell certain sponsorship space on that car.

Ralph Sanchez, a director of the Company, is a principal owner of RAS Development, Inc. which has entered into a five year lease agreement with the Company for office space in Miami, Florida. Payments for this lease total $80,292, $97,957, $99,081, $100,045, $101,008 and $16,861 for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The lease was terminated in December 2003, as part of the wind-up of the operations in Miami for a payment of $43,941.44 and Mr. Sanchez retained the deposit of $16,058.56.

During 2003, race teams affiliated with CART directors and/or 5% stockholders made such payments to CART as follows:

As part of the race in Miami, Florida, a special promotion was undertaken whereby a rock music concert was cross-promoted in conjunction with the race event. An agreement was entered into with Motorock, LLC, a rock concert promoter, whose principals are Mr. Gentilozzi and Mr. Kalkhoven, who are also principals in Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC., which purchased the assets of CART, Inc. pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement as discussed above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, CART, Inc. has filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to the court order, the Company sold the assets of CART, Inc. and the stock of Pro-Motion Agency, Inc. and CART Licensed Products, Inc., ceased the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Raceworks LLC, and intends to liquidate its remaining assets. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the bankruptcy proceedings. In particular, such financial statements do not purport to show (a) as to assets, their realizable value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities, (b) as to prepetition liabilities, the amounts that may be allowed for claims or contingencies, or the status and priority thereof, (c) as to stockholders' accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in the capitalization of the Company, or (d) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may be made in its business.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 1, 18 and 20, the Company's recurring loses from operations, stockholders' capital deficiency, sale of substantially all the operating assets of its CART, Inc. as discussed above, pending or threatened litigation against the Company and its subsidiaries and the Company's stated intent to liquidate its remaining assets raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also discussed in Notes 1, 18 and 20. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2002, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets.

CHAMPIONSHIP AUTO RACING TEAMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CHAPTER 11 FILING

CART, Inc., ("CART") (a Michigan corporation) was organized as a not-for-profit corporation in 1978, with its main purpose being to promote the sport of automobile racing, primarily open-wheel type racing cars. As of January 1, 1992, the entity became a for-profit corporation and continued to use the CART name.

In December 1997, Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc., (a Delaware corporation) was formed to serve as a holding company for CART and its subsidiaries (the "Reorganization"). Each outstanding share of common stock of CART was acquired in exchange for 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company. References to the "Company" mean Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc., through CART, its wholly-owned subsidiary, owned, operated and sanctioned the open-wheel motorsports series known in 2003 as the Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car World Series Powered By Ford. CART was responsible for organizing, marketing and staging each of the races in the Champ Car World Series. The Company also acted as a promoter at certain events. The Company staged events at four different types of tracks, including superspeedways, ovals, temporary road courses and permanent road courses, each of which required different skills and disciplines from the drivers and teams.

On August 18, 2003, we publicly announced that we had received a proposal from Open Wheel Racing Series ("Open Wheel") related to the acquisition of the Company and that we were engaged in negotiations regarding a possible transaction with Open Wheel.

On August 24, 2003, we publicly announced that our board of directors had instructed management to continue negotiating with Open Wheel with respect to all terms related to a possible acquisition of the Company. The Company, Open Wheel and their respective advisors continued to engage in negotiations regarding the terms of a possible transaction and related definitive agreements.

On September 10, 2003, representatives of the Company, Open Wheel and Open Wheel Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Open Wheel, executed and delivered the merger agreement and other related agreements and issued a joint press release announcing the proposed transaction.

On December 2, 2003, we announced that representatives of Open Wheel had informed us that Open Wheel believed that a number of conditions of the pending merger between the parties would not be satisfied by the time of the special meeting of stockholders that was scheduled for December 19, 2003.

On December 15, 2003, we announced that we had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement ("the Agreement") with Open Wheel. The Agreement would allow Open Wheel to purchase the assets of CART, Inc. needed to operate the Champ Car World Series and the stock of Pro-Motion Agency, Inc., our subsidiary that operates the Toyota Atlantics series and CART Licensed Products, Inc., our subsidiary that operates our licensed merchandise function. In addition, Open Wheel would assume from us and CART, Inc. the rights and obligations under certain promoter, sponsor and other contracts. Open Wheel stated that it intended to continue to operate the Champ Car World Series and the Toyota Atlantic series. The total consideration that would be paid under the agreement was $3.0 million less $1.5 million in 2003 prize money to teams who were not affiliated with Open Wheel; which was an obligation of CART, Inc. that would be assumed by Open Wheel. The Agreement terminated the previously announced merger agreement that we had entered into with Open Wheel on September 10, 2003.

On December 16, 2003, CART, Inc. filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy

F-7

Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of Indiana (RE CART, Inc., Case No. 03-23385-FJO-11, See Note 19).

An Amendment by Interlineation (the "Amendment") with respect to the Agreement was entered into on January 15, 2004 to reflect the change in consideration and the assumption of certain claims.

On February 13, 2004, the assets of CART, Inc, the stock of Pro-Motion Agency, Inc. and CART Licensed Products, Inc., were sold to Open Wheel for total cash consideration of $3.3 million, assumption of liabilities of $1.4 million in 2003 prize money to teams who were not affiliated with Open Wheel which was an obligation of CART, Inc., forgiveness of $1.3 million in prize money due principles of Open Wheel which was an obligation of CART, Inc. and the assumption of certain promoter, sponsor and other contracts, pursuant to an order of the bankruptcy court at a hearing held on January 28, 2004. CART, Inc. continues to operate as debtor-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code in order to wind up its affairs. On July 23, 2004 CART, Inc. filed a Chapter 11 plan (the "Plan") and disclosure statement (the "Disclosure Statement") with the bankruptcy court (See Note 20).

We currently intend to liquidate our remaining assets, pay off our remaining liabilities, and complete the process of liquidation and winding up the Company's affairs as soon as practicable. Our Board of Directors has not adopted a plan of liquidation and dissolution at this time, but will consider this option when the liquidation and bankruptcy of our subsidiary CART, Inc. is complete and after approval by our shareholders. In the event that our Board of Directors adopts a plan of liquidation and dissolution, we would expect to incur liquidation expenses, in addition to payments of ongoing operating expenses and settlement of existing or potential obligations. Liquidation expenses may include, among others, employee salaries, severance and related costs, legal and accounting fees, as well as payments to a liquidation trustee. While we cannot currently make a precise estimate of the expenses, we believe that a significant portion of our current cash may be required to pay the above expenditures.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed above, the Company's intention to liquidate the remaining assets, pay off the remaining liabilities, and complete the process of liquidation and dissolution of the Company's affairs raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Upon completion of the sale of substantially all of our operating assets to Open Wheel in February 2004, most of our employees resigned and accepted employment with Open Wheel and CART, Inc. ceased operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries - CART, Inc., American Racing Series, Inc. ("ARS"), Pro-Motion Agency, Ltd., CART Licensed Products, Inc and as of March 7, 2003, Raceworks LLC (See Note 10). At the end of the 2001 season, the Company discontinued the operations of American Racing Series, Inc. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Property and equipment have been written down to their fair values (see asset impairment Note 12) and were depreciated using the straight-line and accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives which range from 3 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the leases or the remaining useful life of the leasehold improvements.

ASSET IMPAIRMENTS. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), long-lived assets to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate costs may not be recoverable. Impairment losses on long-lived assets are recognized when book values exceed expected undiscounted future

F-8

cash flows with the impairment measured on a discounted future cash flow basis (see asset impairment footnote 12).

REVENUE RECOGNITION. Substantially all of the Company's revenue is derived from sanction fees, promotion revenues, sponsorship revenues, television revenues, engine leases and other miscellaneous revenue. Sanction fee revenues are fees paid to the Company by track promoters to sanction a Champ Car event at the race venue and to provide the necessary race management. In 2003 and 2002, the Company self-promoted certain events. Revenues received for events the Company promotes are recorded as race promotion revenues. The Company receives sponsorship revenues from companies who desire to receive brand and product exposure in connection with Champ Car races. Pursuant to broadcast agreements, the Company generates revenues from advertising sales and for the right to broadcast the races, with revenues based upon viewership with a minimum guarantee for contracts through 2001 and for certain international contracts in 2002. In 2003 and 2002, the Company bought the air-time and paid for production for certain races and received the advertising inventory for certain races. The Company also receives revenues from royalty fees paid for licenses to use service marks of the Company, various drivers, teams, tracks and industry sponsors for merchandising programs and product sales.

Recognition of revenue from race sanction agreements is deferred until the event occurs. Sponsorship revenue and engine lease revenue are recognized ratably over the period covered by the agreement. Barter revenue is recognized at the time of the event. Television revenue for rights sales is recognized ratably over the race schedule and television advertising revenue is recognized when the advertising is aired. Other revenues include membership and entry fees, contingency awards money, rights fees and royalty income. Membership and entry fees and contingency award money are recognized ratably over the race schedule. Royalty income is recognized as the related product sales occur or on a monthly basis based on a minimum guarantee.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. Cash and cash equivalents include investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of original acquisition.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS. The Company's short-term investments are categorized as available-for-sale, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Unrealized holding gains and losses are reflected as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. For the purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis.

GOODWILL. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets". The statement requires companies to discontinue amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Instead, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives will be tested for impairment upon adoption of the statement and annually thereafter. The Company performs an annual impairment review for intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each year, commencing with the fourth quarter of 2002. As a result of adoption, the Company no longer records amortization expense related to goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, effective January 1, 2002, which resulted in a one-time, non-cash charge of $1.5 million, or $956,000 net of tax benefit of $514,000, to write-off the value of its goodwill. The goodwill was recorded under the purchase method of accounting for the purchases of Pro-Motion Agency, Inc. and CART Licensed Products, LP, on April 10, 1998 and January 1, 1999, respectively. Such charge is non-recurring in nature and is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Previous to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company had accounted for its goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the accounting standards existing at the time, and the Company's analyses did not result in recognition of any impairment loss prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, except as discussed in Note 10.

Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. In calculating the impairment charge, the fair values of the reporting units were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology.

A reconciliation of net loss and loss per share, adjusted to exclude amortization expense, net of tax, for the period prior to adoption and the cumulative effect of accounting change recognized in the year of adoption, is as follows:

In the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded goodwill in conjunction with the purchase described in Note 10 - Acquisition of Raceworks, LLC.

Operating results and cash flows of Raceworks, LLC were significantly lower than expected during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as a result of the event promoted by Raceworks, LLC in September in Miami. Based on those results and other qualitative information, the future earnings forecasts were revised. As a result of management's analysis, the Company recognized a non-cash asset impairment charge of $1,262,000 to write-off goodwill and other intangible assets related to the purchase of Raceworks, LLC. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company's reporting units are generally consistent with the operating segments identified in Note 16 - Segment Reporting. Raceworks, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary included in the race promotions segment, is also a reporting unit.

MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Specifically, management made significant estimates in assets and liabilities pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and bankruptcy filing for the year-ended December 31, 2003. The actual outcome of the estimates could differ from the estimates made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." This statement amends SFAS Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based methods of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company has chosen to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25") in accounting for its stock options granted to employees and directors. Under APB No. 25, the Company does not recognize compensation expense on the issuance of its stock options because the option terms are

F-10

fixed, and the exercise price equals the market price of the underlying stock on the grant date.

However, as required by SFAS No. 123, the Company has calculated pro forma information as if it had determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options granted to employees and directors. There were no options granted for the year-ended December 31, 2003. In accordance with SFAS No.123, for the year ended December 31, 2002, the fair value of option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for pro-forma purposes with the following assumptions used for all grants:
expected volatility of 71%, expected dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 3% and an expected life of 10 years. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the fair value of option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for pro forma purposes with the following assumptions used for all grants: expected volatility of 30%, expected dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 4% and an expected life of 10 years. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock under SFAS No. 123, net loss and diluted loss per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31:

                                                                       (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. On July 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". The statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. This statement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." and during December 2003 issued Interpretation 46 ("FIN 46R") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and Interpretation of ARB 51". The term "variable interest" is defined in FIN 46 as "contractual, ownership or other pecuniary interests in an entity that change with changes in the entity's net asset value." Variable interests are investments or other interests that will absorb a portion of an entity's expected losses if they occur or receive portions of the entity's expected residual returns if they occur. FIN 46R defers the effective date of FIN 46 for certain entities and makes several other changes to FIN 46. The Company does not expect the recognition provisions of FIN 46R to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In April 2003, the FASB amended and clarified financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, "through the issuance of SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 149 in fiscal 2003 did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments

F-11

with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."SFAS No. 150 modifies the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 150 in fiscal 2003 did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 and 2001 consolidated financial statements in order for them to conform to the 2003 presentation.

Proceeds from sales of investments were approximately $78.6 million and $146.4 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. In 2003 and 2002, gross gains and losses on such sales were not significant.

Contractual maturities range from less than one year to two years. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio does not exceed one year.

4. NOTES RECEIVABLE

In May 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party whereby we paid for the costs of capital improvements retained by the third party necessary to stage an event which we promoted. We accepted an unsecured note of $750,000 for said improvements, to be collected, without interest over five years. The note was to be repaid over the life of the agreement at $75,000 per year and a final payment of $450,000 due in the fifth year. The Company imputed interest on the note at a rate of 6% and recorded a discount which reduced the note by $46,000. In November 2003, the Company terminated the agreement and according to the terms of the contract the note was forgiven. The note was written-off in during the year end December 31, 2003.

In June 2003, the Company entered into an amendment to a sanction agreement with a promoter where we accepted a note in the amount of $400,000 as payment for a portion of the sanction fee. This note is payable in 36 equal monthly installments, bearing interest at 10% per annum, beginning January 1, 2004. The note is collateralized by all products and proceeds of all other events staged by the promoter at the promoter's facility. We have not received any payments on the note which were to begin on January 1, 2004. After an assessment of the financial condition of the promoter and other considerations, it was determined that the note should be been written-down to management's estimate of its fair value of $150,000 and a loss has been recorded in asset impairment and strategic charges in the amount of $320,139.

Property and equipment were written down as of December 31, 2003 to their fair-values pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into with Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC. (See Note 12). Depreciation expense recorded was $3.84 million, $1.44 million, and $1.49 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 respectively.

6. CAPITAL STOCK

In 2003 and 2002, there were no repurchases or retirements of common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company repurchased and retired 1,054,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate cost of $15.5 million, pursuant to its stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in April 2001. The program allows the Company to repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of its outstanding common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases under the program will be made at the discretion of management based upon market, business, legal, accounting and other factors. Currently, the Company has no intention to purchase any of its outstanding shares.

7. OPERATING LEASES

The Company had entered into two operating leases for office space, one in Indianapolis, Indiana and one, with a former director, in Miami Florida, which have terms through 2010. In December 2003, the lease in Miami was canceled in exchange for a payment of $44,000 and forfeiture of the security deposit of $16,000. The Indianapolis lease was sublet to Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC., at substantially the same terms as our lease, and we retain office space for our use at no cost, however, we remain liable on the lease. Total rent expense for operating leases were approximately $361,493, $491,173 and $638,000 for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Approximate future minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable operating lease are as follows:

8. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

SFAS No. 109 requires that net deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has tax assets from U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $81.4 million and $.5 million, respectively. The carryforward items expire over the next 5 to 20 years. Failure to achieve taxable income within the carryforward period would affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets. Due to the financial condition of the Company described in Note 1, Management does not believe that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The tax benefit for current year losses and net deferred tax assets recorded at December 31, 2003 has been reduced by a $35.4 million valuation allowance. As a result, income tax expense was $427,000 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2003.

The tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 are as follows:

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company offers a 401(k) savings plan. Contributions to the plan are in the form of employee salary deferral, subject to discretionary employer-matching contributions. The Company's contributions to the plan were approximately $71,000, $81,000, and $86,000 in 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. In February 2004, this plan was assumed by Open Wheel and the Company has no future obligations under the plan.

10. ACQUISITION OF RACEWORKS, LLC

On March 7, 2003, the Company acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in Raceworks, LLC ("Raceworks"). The results of Raceworks' operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Raceworks is a motorsports promotion company and holds a revocable license agreement to annually conduct a street race in downtown Miami through 2017, with an option to extend for an additional ten (10) years. The aggregate purchase price was $1.2 million including $473,000 of cash and a promissory note of $722,000. In December 2003, the Company entered into an agreement for full and final settlement of the note for a cash payment to the note holders of $361,250.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values, at the time of acquisition, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the acquisition.

Current assets                                                      $   449,000

                                                                    ===========

F-15

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Raceworks based upon their respective fair values as of the date of the acquisition. An allocation of the purchase price has been made to major categories of assets and liabilities based on available information at the date of acquisition.

In December 2003, Raceworks' operations were discontinued and a wind-up of business is currently under way due to CART, Inc.'s bankruptcy filing and the subsequent sale of its assets to Open Wheel and Open Wheel's decision not to acquire the rights to race in Miami. This resulted in the intangible and long-lived assets of Raceworks being written down to their estimated fair values and an impairment charge of $5.1 million being incurred for the year ended December 31, 2003. (See Note-2 Goodwill and Note-12 Asset Impairment)

In 2004, settlements have been negotiated with certain Raceworks, LLC., creditors which resulted in reductions to trade account payables of approximately $520,000.

11. DEBT

At December 31, 2002 the Company had an unused bank line of credit of $1.5 million. There were no amounts outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Advances on the line of credit were payable on demand, with interest at the bank's prime rate. The line of credit was secured by the Company's deposits with the bank. In September 2003, the Company canceled the line of credit.

In July 2002, the Company guaranteed a $1.8 million commercial term loan in connection with the operations of Raceworks, LLC. The Company subsequently assumed this loan in conjunction with the acquisition of Raceworks, LLC. The principal on the loan shall be paid quarterly, commencing on October 31, 2003 and on the last day of each January, April, July and October thereafter, in the amount of $50,000 per quarter. The Company made the October 2003 and January 2004 scheduled payments.

At December 31, 2003, the Company was in default of certain financial covenants of the loan. As a result, the entire amount of the note has been classified as current.

On May 10, 2004, The Company entered into an assignment and release agreement that was for full and final settlement of any and all obligations related to the loan in exchange for a cash payment from the Company of the remaining principal balance of $1,700,000.

12. ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND STRATEGIC CHARGES

Dayton Indy Lights Championship. During the third quarter of 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a formal exit plan with respect to the discontinuance of the Dayton Indy Lights Championship ("DILC") effective at the conclusion of the 2001 race season. This decision resulted from an in-depth analysis of the Company's development series conducted by management of the Company and Bain & Company, an independent consulting company. The analysis was initiated to determine the future viability of the DILC, operated by ARS. This analysis included discussions with DILC team owners and employees and discussions with Toyota Atlantics Championship ("TAC") team owners and employees. The TAC was operated by Pro-Motion. The analysis was completed in July, 2001.

The Company reviewed the financial and operational performance of the DILC and the TAC. Based upon such analysis, and based upon the information gathered in discussions with team owners and employees, management of the Company concluded that due to the current environment for open-wheel racing in the United States, CART can only support one development series at this level. CART had many discussions with sponsors of the DILC and the TAC and concluded that the support of Toyota with the TAC and the equipment contracts in place for TAC supported the decision to discontinue the DILC at the conclusion of the 2001 race season to focus its support and efforts on one development series.

F-16

In 2001, the Company recorded charges of $8.5 million related to the formal exit plan for the discontinuance of operations of the DILC. The Company recorded charges of $7.6 million related to the impairment of goodwill ($5.6 million) and a write-down of the carrying value of property and equipment ($2.0 million). The carrying value of the property and equipment that has been impaired primarily relates to engines owned by ARS and used in the DILC. The Company has fully depreciated and disposed of the engines.

The Company also recorded charges of $885,000 in 2001 resulting from management's estimate of certain expenses following the decision by the Company to discontinue the DILC operations. These charges included provisions for doubtful accounts, severance payments and other settlement charges.

Raceworks, LLC. Operating results and cash flows of Raceworks, LLC were significantly lower than expected, which we considered to be an indication of impairment. Based on operating results and other qualitative information, the future earnings forecasts were revised and the fair value determined. The Company recognized a non-cash asset impairment charge of $1,262,000 to write-off goodwill and other intangible assets related to the purchase of Raceworks, LLC. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows.

The Company reviewed the carrying value of the long-lived assets of Raceworks, using estimated cash flows. The carrying values of the long-lived assets were considered impaired. In the absence of quoted market prices, the fair values of the long-lived assets were determined using estimates of amounts at which the assets could be sold to third parties in current transactions, less any sale costs. The Company recognized a non-cash asset impairment charge of $2,038,000 for the period ended September 30, 2003 to reduce the carrying value of the property and equipment of Raceworks, LLC.

In December of 2003, after the merger agreement with Open Wheel was terminated as described in Note 1, it was determined that Open Wheel had no interest in the assets of Raceworks, LLC or continuing to race in the city of Miami. The Company initiated a plan to wrap-up the affairs of Raceworks by closing the office and liquidating its remaining assets. The assets were written-down to their estimated fair value and the Company recognized an asset impairment charge of $1,755,000 in the quarter-ended December 31, 2003.

CART, Inc., Promotion Agency, LTD., and CART Licensed Products, Inc. The sale of certain assets and common stock to Open Wheel Racing Series, on February 13, 2004, pursuant to the court approved sale described in Note 1, established fair value for such assets. Because the carrying value of such assets and common stock at December 31, 2003 exceeded their fair values an impairment charge was recognized as follows:

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

REVENUE AGREEMENTS. The Company has entered into promoter and sponsorship agreements that extend through various dates, with the longest date expiring in the 2008 racing season. Under the promoter agreements, the Company was obligated to sanction Champ Car World Series racing events and provide related race management functions. Under the sponsorship agreements, the Company granted certain corporations official sponsorship status. In return the corporations received recognition

F-17

and status rights, event rights and product category exclusivity rights. The promoter and sponsor agreements still in effect as of December 31, 2003 were assumed by Open Wheel Racing Series, LLC, as part of the "Asset Purchase Agreement" discussed previously.

Television agreements with various broadcast companies for production, sales and worldwide distribution of the Company's events ended on December 31, 2003 .

TEAM ASSISTANCE. Beginning in 2003 the Company provided assistance to certain teams to ensure that there were a sufficient number of race cars competing in the Company's series. The Company spent $31.8 million in team assistance, spread out over the race season, to assure a sufficient number of competitors for the 2003 season. The agreements ended on December 31, 2003.

ENTRANT SUPPORT PROGRAM. Beginning in 2003, the Company provided financial assistance to teams that participated in the Champ Car World Series, including teams affiliated with our directors and/or 5% stockholders. The Entrant Support Program ("ESP") provided up to $42,500 in cash payments to teams, per race, for each car entered into the series. The agreements with the teams ended on December 31, 2003.

TELEVISION TIME BUYS. In 2003, the Company entered into a time buy agreement for the 2003 and 2004 race season. However, as a result of the "Asset Purchase Agreement" discussed previously, the Company is not in the race promotion business for 2004. Therefore the obligation of both parties subject to the time buy agreement is non-assertive for the 2004 race season.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS. In October 2002, the Company provided a deposit of $550,000 and a letter of credit in the amount of $1.7 million for the production of conversion kits for race car chassis for the 2003 season. The letter of credit guarantees that at least 20 of the kits would be purchased by the Company's race teams. As the kits are purchased, the letter of credit will be reduced accordingly. All 20 race kits have been purchased by the Company's race teams, and therefore, the deposit was refunded on February 27, 2003 and the letter of credit was canceled.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS. The Company has employment agreements with its officers. The employment agreements expire on December 31, 2004.

LITIGATION. On November 4, 2003, 88 Corp. filed suit against CART, Inc. in the United States Federal District Court for the Central District of California. 88 Corp., the promoter of the CART Champ Car World Series race at the California Speedway in Fontana, California, claimed that the race which was to be held on November 2, 2003 was canceled due to a "force majeure" and requested a judicial determination as to whether or not the organizational and rights fee of $2.5 million, previously paid by 88 Corp. to CART, minus reasonable expenses incurred by CART, should be refunded to 88 Corp. As a result of the bankruptcy of CART, this litigation was suspended. 88 Corp. has filed a proof of claim against CART in the bankruptcy court proceedings requesting repayment of the $2.5 million, imposition of a constructive trust, and such other relief as the bankruptcy court deems appropriate. CART has objected to the claim and has asserted against 88 Corp. a claim for wrongful termination of the sanction agreement as it relates to the 2003 and 2004 races in the amount of $5.2 million. These claims are currently pending in bankruptcy court and we are unable to make a determination as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of the recovery or loss.

On December 16, 2003, CART, Inc., the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. CART, Inc.'s Chapter 11 Plan has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Based upon filings by creditors of CART, Inc., there may be claims by creditors against CART, Inc. which could result in litigation against CART, Inc. in Bankruptcy Court. The Company is currently unable to determine the extent of these asserted claims and whether or not they will ultimately result in litigation involving CART, Inc.

On December 12, 2003, S. R. Holdings Co., filed an action against the Company and Raceworks, LLC, its wholly owned limited liability company, for an alleged breach of contract to

F-18

provide concession services at the Champ Car World Series race held in Miami, Florida in 2003 and in future years. The case was filed in the Circuit Court of Miami, Dade County, Florida. The Company filed answer denying all allegations. Raceworks filed an answer denying all allegations and asserted a counterclaim for breach of the agreement by S.R. Holdings for failure to make a minimum payment to Raceworks. The Company is unable to make a determination as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate of the amount or range of possible loss.

On August 5, 2004 the Company was served with a complaint to avoid and recover preferential transfers filed on behalf of WorldCom, Inc. and MCI, Inc., in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The action alleges that the Company received $1,500,000 in July of 2002 which was a payment within 90 days of the date that WorldCom, Inc. and its subsidiaries commenced their bankruptcy by filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company has not filed an answer at this point in time and is unable to make a determination as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. The range of the possible loss is up to $1,500,000.

We are party to several lawsuits. We cannot predict the outcome of the litigation, and at this time, management is unable to estimate the impact that ultimate resolution of these matters may have on our financial position or results of operations.

14. SEVERANCE EXPENSE

During 2001, the Company recorded severance expense relating to the voluntary and involuntary resignation of certain employees, including the Company's President/CEO. These expenses amounted to $4.3 million and are included in administrative and indirect expenses.

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, severance payments of $0 and $2.3 million, respectively, are accrued.

15. STOCK OPTION PLANS

1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN. In December 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") authorized, and the stockholders of the Company approved, a stock incentive plan for executive and key management employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including a limited number of outside consultants and advisors, effective as of the completion of the initial public offering ("IPO") (the "1997 Stock Option Plan"). Under the 1997 Stock Option Plan, key employees, outside consultants and advisors (the "Participants") of the Company and its subsidiaries (as defined in the 1997 Stock Option Plan) may receive awards of stock options (both Nonqualified Options and Incentive Options, as defined in the Stock Option Plan). A maximum of 2,000,000 shares of common stock are subject to the 1997 Stock Option Plan. Options granted vest pro-rata over a three-year period. No stock option is exercisable after ten years from the date of the grant, subject to certain conditions and limitations. The purpose of the 1997 Stock Option Plan was to provide the Participants (including officers and directors who are also key employees) of the Company and its subsidiaries with an increased incentive to make significant contributions to the long-term performance and growth of the Company and its subsidiaries.

In addition, in December 1997, the Board and the stockholders of the Company approved a Director Option Plan permitting the granting of non-qualified stock options ("Director NQSOs") for up to 100,000 shares of common stock to directors of the Company who are neither employees of the Company nor affiliates of a race team which participates in CART race events (an "Independent Director"). Each person who is first elected or appointed to serve as an Independent Director of the Company is automatically granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Company common stock. In addition, each individual who is re-elected as an Independent Director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Company common stock each year on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders. Each of the options automatically granted upon election, appointment or re-election as an Independent Director are exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. In addition, each Independent Director may elect to receive stock options in lieu of any director's fees payable to such individuals.

F-19

All Director NQSOs are immediately exercisable upon grant. The exercise price for all options may be paid in cash, shares of common stock of the Company or other property. If an Independent Director dies or becomes ineligible to participate in the Director Option Plan due to disability, his Director NQSOs expire on the first anniversary of such event. If an Independent Director retires with the consent of the Company, his Director NQSOs expire 90 days after his retirement. In no event may a Director NQSO be exercised more than ten years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, there were 25,000 and 25,000, respectively, Director NQSOs issued and outstanding.

No further options will be granted under either the 1997 Stock Option Plan or the Director's Stock Option Plan.

The following table summarizes information about stock options under the 1997 Stock Option Plan and Directors Stock Option Plan during 2003, 2002 and 2001 as follows:

                                                                 WEIGHTED

*167,532 options were forfeited in May 2004, upon termination of certain employees.

The weighted average exercise price of exercisable options at December 31, 2003 was $20.77. Options outstanding at December 31, 2003 range in exercise price from $16.00 to $29.00.

2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN. In May 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and the stockholders of the Company approved a 2001 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan ("2001 Stock Option Plan"), which provides for grants of stock options to eligible participants including employees, officers, directors, consultants and other key persons. The 2001 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the grant to participants of options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

No officer may be granted more than 500,000 options during any one year. Options are granted only to employees, officers, directors, consultants and other persons providing key services to the Company or a subsidiary and the purchase price of each option granted cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

Options granted under the Plan are incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The shares issued upon the exercise of options granted may be previously unissued shares, reacquired shares, or shares bought in the market. The purchase price for all shares purchased pursuant to options exercised must be either paid in cash, or paid in full in common stock of the Company valued at fair market value on the date of exercise, or a combination of cash and common stock.

The term of each option may not exceed ten years and, additionally, may not exceed twelve months following the termination of providing services to the Company, unless modified by the Compensation Committee.

16. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable segments, sanctioning and race promotions. In 2003, the Company added "Race Promotions" as a reportable segment. There were no prior period adjustments relating to the new reportable segment.

Sanctioning encompasses all the business operations of organizing, marketing and staging all of our open-wheel racing events when we act as a sanctioning body as well as corporate expenses. We receive a sanction fee from the event promoter for our services that is either fixed or is based upon a profit sharing agreement. Sanction fees revenue, sponsorship revenue, television revenue, engine lease revenue, race distributions and race expenses, television expenses and administrative and indirect expenses are recognized in the sanctioning segment.

Race promotions encompasses all the business operations of marketing and promoting our open-wheel racing events when we act as promoter and have exclusive rights to the event. We receive the revenues from the event and are responsible for the expenses of the event.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company's long-lived assets are substantially used in the sanctioning segment in the United States. The Company evaluates performance based on income before income taxes.

17. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. Shares contingently issuable relate to shares that would have been outstanding under certain stock option plans (see Note 14) upon the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options.

Total liabilities subject to compromise                             $5,626
                                                                    ======

A court ordered payment of pre-petition debt for business insurance in the amount of $40,768 was made subsequent to the filing of the bankruptcy petition and prior to December 31, 2003.

A substantial dollar amount of claims were filed that are not included in CART, Inc.'s liabilities as of December 31, 2003. The total amount of claims filed by potential creditors and debtor scheduled amounts with the bankruptcy court totaled $12.0 million, excluding the inter-company liability to CART, Inc's parent company, Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. of $62.3 million. The total claims exceed the liabilities recorded on CART's balance sheet because the total claims represent not only accounts payable to each potential creditor but also claims for future payments, disputed amounts owed to creditors, and potential damages for contractual breaches. The following table sets forth claims filed by potential creditors that are not included in CART, Inc.'s liabilities as of December 31, 2003:

Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. the parent company of CART, Inc., has entered into an agreement whereby it will subordinate its claim for the inter-company liability to the other creditors in exchange for the agreement of the unsecured creditors of CART releasing the Company from all claims that could be asserted against the Company.

Bankruptcy Subsequent Events:

In January 2004, the bankruptcy court approved payments related to pre-petition employee expense reimbursements and health benefits in the amount of $28,327.

On February 13, 2004, the assets of CART, Inc, the common stock of Pro-Motion Agency, Inc. and CART Licensed Products, Inc., were sold to Open Wheel for total cash consideration of $3.3 million. The agreement also included Open Wheel assuming $1.4 million in 2003 prize money to teams who were not affiliated with Open Wheel and forgiveness of $1.3 million in prize money due principals of Open Wheel; all of the 2003 prize money was an obligation of CART, Inc., and included in trade accounts payable at December 31, 2003. In addition, Open Wheel assumed certain promoter, sponsor and other contracts. Prior to finalizing the sale, CART, Inc. paid pre-petition payables in the amount of $492,106 related to the contracts assumed by Open Wheel. The sale agreement was pursuant to an order of the bankruptcy court at a hearing held on January 28, 2004.

CART, Inc. continues to operate as debtor-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code in order to wind up its affairs.

The Plan provides for the distribution of the asset sale proceeds and other currently available cash and the liquidation and distribution of the remaining estate assets to CART, Inc.'s creditors.

If any Distribution is returned as undeliverable (e.g., "forwarding time expired," "address unknown," etc.), no further

-20-

Distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent is timely notified in writing as provided in Section 6.1.06 of such holder's then current address, at which time all missed Distributions shall be made to such holder without interest.

The CART Liquidation Trust may modify the Reserve Percentage upon ten days negative notice to: (a) all Persons on the Debtor's service list; and (b) the holders of Claims in the Contested Unsecured Claims reserve.

6.5. AVOIDANCE ACTIONS AND RECOVERIES.

6.5.01. AVOIDANCE ACTIONS AND OTHER ACTIONS. All Avoidance Actions, all Claims relating to Post-Petition transactions under Section 549 of the Bankruptcy Code, all transfers recoverable under Section 550 of the Bankruptcy Code, all causes of action against any Person on account of indebtedness and any other causes of action in favor of the Debtor (including without limitation such causes of action included as part of the 88 Corp. Litigation)

-22-

are hereby expressly preserved and retained for enforcement subsequent to the Transfer Date exclusively by the Liquidation Trustee (collectively, the "Preserved Actions"). In the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, any Preserved Action may be pursued by informal demand and/or by the commencement of litigation.

6.5.02. RECOVERIES. To the extent that any proceeds are recovered from any Avoidance Action or any other cause of action reserved for prosecution pursuant to the Plan, such proceeds shall be distributed to Creditors in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Neither the Debtor, the Creditors' Committee, the Parent, the Liquidation Trustee, nor their counsel shall have any obligation or duty to review, investigate or prosecute any Avoidance Action.

6.6. 88 CORP. LITIGATION. Debtor contends that the Estate holds good and valuable claims against 88 Corp. arising out of a sanctioning agreement between Debtor and 88 Corp. dated October 29, 1999 (the "Fontana Agreement") with respect to Champ Car racing events (each an "Event") that the parties agreed would occur at the Fontana California Speedway ("Fontana") during each of the years 2000 through 2004. Debtor and 88 Corp. initially agreed that the 2003 Event would take place on Sunday, November 2, 2003. The Fontana Event was scheduled as the last event of Debtor's 2003 Champ Car racing season. 88 Corp. advised Debtor that it would not allow the 2003 Event to occur as initially agreed, asserting a force majure excuse and refused to offer a reasonable alternative postponement date, effectively canceling the 2003 Event. Debtor also contends that 88 Corp. wrongly cancelled the 2004 Event. Pursuant to the Fontana Agreement, 88 Corp. may be liable to the Estate in an amount of $5.2 million (that is, $2.6 million for each cancelled Event) plus prejudgment interest and attorneys fees expended by the Estate to pursue the Estate's causes of action against 88 Corp. for its breach of the Fontana Agreement. The foregoing generally describes what are referred to herein as the "Estate's Claims Against 88 Corp." The Estate's Claims Against 88 Corp. are more fully described at p. __ of the Disclosure Statement. 88 Corp. and one or more of its affiliates filed a proof of a Claim on March 30, 2004 asserting Claims against the Estates (the "88 Corp. POC"). Also, on January 16, 2004 88 Corp. and one or more of its affiliates filed 88 Corp. And The California Speedway Corporation's Motion To Condition The Debtor's Use Of Property (the "Constructive Trust Motion") asserting that the Court should impose a constructive trust on funds held by the Debtor representing installments of sanction fees paid by 88 Corp. to the Debtor with respect to the 2003 Event. Debtor has opposed and intends to continue to oppose the allowance of the 88 Corp. POC or the granting of the relief requested by the Constructive Trust Motion. The Estate's Claims Against 88 Corp. and the Debtor's opposition to the 88 Corp. POC and the Constructive Trust Motion are collectively referred to herein as the "88 Corp. Litigation". All 88 Corp. Litigation is hereby expressly preserved and retained for enforcement subsequent to the Transfer Date exclusively by the Liquidation Trustee.

7.1. TIME LIMIT FOR OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS. To the extent not previously done by the Debtor, objections to Claims shall be filed by the Liquidation Trustee (subject to the approval of the Creditors' Committee and the Parent) with the Court and served on the holder of each of the

-23-

Claims to which objections are made not later than ninety (90) days after the Transfer Date, or within such other time period as may be fixed by the Court.

7.2. PROSECUTION OF OBJECTIONS/CLAIMS. After the Transfer Date, only the Liquidation Trustee (subject to the approval of the Creditors' Committee and the Parent), shall have authority to file, litigate to judgment, settle or withdraw objections to Contested Claims.

7.3. DISTRIBUTIONS ON PARTIALLY CONTESTED CLAIMS. Distributions under the Plan shall only be made with respect to Allowed Claims, provided, however, that to the extent a Contested Claim is not contested in its entirety, the Debtor (with respect the First Distribution or the Liquidation Trustee) may issue Distributions in accordance with the Plan with respect to any uncontested portion of such Contested Claim.

7.4. RESERVES FOR PROFESSIONAL FEES AND CONTESTED CLAIMS. On each Distribution Date, there shall be reserved:

a. the Professional Fee Reserve

b. the Contested Administrative Claim Reserve

Cash reserved pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be set aside, held and maintained by the Liquidation Trustee in these Reserves, for the benefit of the holders of Contested Claims covered by these Reserves, pending resolution of their Contested Claims. Upon any Contested Claim becoming an Allowed Claim in whole or in part, the amount of Cash then due to the Claimant on such Claim shall be paid and distributed to such Claimant on the Distribution Date, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Upon any Contested Claim becoming a Disallowed Claim, in whole or in part, the amount of Cash reserved on account of such Disallowed Claim, or disallowed portion thereof, shall become available for Distribution pursuant to the terms of this Plan, except to the extent determined by the Liquidation Trustee to be necessary to fund Trust Administrative Expenses.

7.5. DISPUTES REGARDING RIGHTS TO PAYMENTS OR DISTRIBUTIONS. Any other provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any dispute between and among Claimants or other Persons (including the Person or Persons asserting the right to receive the disputed payment or Distribution) as to the right of any Person to receive or retain any payment or Distribution to be made to such Person under the Plan, the Debtor or the Liquidation Trustee may, inter alia, in lieu of making such payment or Distribution to such Person, make it instead into a segregated account, for payment of the Distribution as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as the interested parties to such dispute otherwise agree among themselves.

7.6. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM CART LIQUIDATION TRUST. From and after the
Transfer Date, any and all Distributions shall come from the CART Liquidation Trust, and the Debtor shall have no liability for such Distributions.

ARTICLE II

THE DEBTOR

2.1. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBTOR.

2.1.01. HISTORY.

Debtor, a Michigan corporation with its principal place of business in Indianapolis, Indiana, was formed in 1978. At the time, the United States Auto Club ("USAC") was the sanctioning body for open wheel racing. Due to the increasing concern among race team owners regarding escalating costs and limited promotional activities, in November 1978, a group of 18 of the then existing 21 open wheel racing team owners left USAC to form CART and the Champ Car World Series.

Until 1995, Debtor was the preeminent , open-wheel racing organization in the United States. During that time period it produced many household names for both racing and non-racing fans, such as Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, A.J. Foyt and Bobby Unser. In 1995, the Indy Racing League ("IRL") was formed as a rival open-wheel racing series due to differences of opinion over the future direction of open-wheel racing in the United States. In 1998, CART formed a holding company, "Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc." ("Championship" or "Parent") which became the parent of CART and completed an initial public offering of stock (an "IPO"). Debtor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Championship, a Delaware corporation. Championship is a publicly held company whose stock was traded until recently on the New York Stock Exchange.

In 2003, Debtor owned, operated and marketed the 2003 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford (the "Series"). Racing teams competed in Debtor's 2003 motorsports racing series in pursuit of the Vanderbilt Cup. Debtor's "Champ Cars" are thoroughbred racing machines that reach speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour, showcasing the technical expertise of various manufacturers. Championship's wholly owned subsidiary Pro-Motion Agency, Ltd., an Illinois corporation, owns and operates the Champ Car top development series, the Toyota Atlantic Championship.

Beginning in 2002, Debtor began incurring significant losses in the operation of its business. Debtor was only able to operate through the 2003 Series with the assistance loans and other financial accommodations made to Debtor by its Parent totalling in excess of $60 million.

As detailed below, beginning in October of 2002 the Parent engaged Bear Stearns to assist Parent and Debtor in developing a strategic solution to Debtor's financial difficulties. Bear Sterns began a concerted effort to locate a merger partner, purchaser or some other person

- 5 -

to provide a financial fix for Debtor's problems. On September 20, 2003, Parent and OWRS executed a merger agreement that was intended to result in OWRS replacing Parent's public shareholders as the owner of Parent and the infusion of sufficient financial support for Debtor to allow for the ongoing operation of Debtor's racing business. However, on December 2, 2003 the merger collapsed. Parent and OWRS announced that the merger would not proceed to a closing.

2.1.02. THE CHAPTER 11 CASE.

On December 16, 2003 (the "Petition Date"), CART Inc, the Debtor, commenced its Chapter 11 Case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code") for the purpose of liquidating its assets and distributing cash proceeds to creditors. At the time of filing, the Debtor had executed the APA to sell substantially all of its assets to OWRS,(1) subject to a higher and better offer at a public auction and contingent upon bankruptcy court approval. At a sale hearing on January 28, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved the proposed sale to OWRS. The sale of the Debtor's assets to OWRS closed on February 13, 2004.

The Debtor is completing the liquidation of, not reorganizing, its business assets. The Debtor will not be conducting any business operations in the future, and has proposed a Plan which provides for the ongoing liquidation of its non-Cash Assets and distribution of its Cash to its Creditors. Upon the confirmation and consummation of the Plan, most of Debtor's Available Cash will be distributed to Holders, as of the Effective Date, of Allowed Claims and the Remaining Estate Assets and Available Cash of the Debtor will vest in a liquidating trust established pursuant to the Plan for the benefit of the Creditors.

In accordance with Bankruptcy Code Section 1125, the Debtors are submitting this Disclosure Statement to Holders of Claims against Debtor's Estate for the purpose of soliciting acceptances of the Plan, which the Bankruptcy Court will consider for confirmation on __, 2004 at p.m. This Disclosure Statement is intended to provide information required by Section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; that is, information of a kind and in sufficient detail to enable the Creditors who are entitled to vote to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan.

Attached as exhibits to the Disclosure Statement are: (i) Exhibit 1, a copy of the Plan (Attached to the Plan are three exhibits: Exhibit "A", the Liquidating Trust Agreement; Exhibit "B", a sample ballot; and Exhibit "C", the Subordination Agreement), (ii) Exhibit 2, a copy of the proposed order approving this Disclosure Statement.

2.2. EVENTS LEADING TO COMMENCEMENT OF THE BANKRUPTCY CASE.

Beginning in 2001, Debtor experienced a decrease in promotional and advertising revenues and decreased attendance at some race venues. Although Debtor remained profitable through 2001, after the split with IRL (1996 through 2002), Debtor's profitability deteriorated as


(1) OWRS' name change to Champ Car World Series LLC ("CCWS") was effective on March 26, 2004.

- 6 -

a number of circumstances and occurrences resulted in an economic downturn in Debtor's fortunes. Those circumstances and occurrences included:

a. Engine Manufacturers. Two of the three engine manufacturers that supplied engines for the Champ Car series (the "Series") left after the 2002 Series to participate in the IRL. The Series' teams, which were supported to a significant degree by engine manufacturers and suppliers (in some cases, these car manufacturers supplied free engines and provided other financial support to certain teams), were being encouraged to, and some did, follow those manufacturers to IRL. In addition, the manufacturers were major sponsors for teams, race promoters and also purchased large quantities of television advertising. The teams that elected to continue to participate in the Series experienced a dramatic loss in sponsorship revenue related to the departed engine manufacturers as well as the adverse economic conditions that caused companies to cut back promotion and advertising of their brands. In addition, in 2003, the teams experienced increased costs because they were required to pay for the lease of engines as compared to receiving cost-free engine leases in the past. These conditions required Debtor to spend significant amounts on entrant support programs and team participation payments to encourage teams to remain in the Series.

b. Race Venues. Beginning in 2001, Debtor lost several important race venues. Three of Debtor's more profitable international races were lost due to an adverse political climate in the case of Brazil, the bankruptcy of the promoter in the case of Germany, and the decision by the race venue in the case of Japan, which was owned by Honda Motor Company, not to renew with Debtor but rather to run an IRL event in which participating teams were using Honda engines. Debtor was also forced to cancel another race in Texas due to safety concerns. In addition, promoters of Debtor's other events were experiencing weakening revenue streams and therefore began demanding lower sanction fees or sanction fees that were based either in whole or in part on a revenue or net income sharing model. Debtor lost some promoters altogether. In order to preserve important markets, Debtor began self-promoting some of its Series' races rather than utilizing third party promoters. Debtor promoted two of its races in 2002 and six of its races in 2003. Unfortunately, the expenses of self-promoted races were significantly greater than the revenues generated.

c. Television Exposure/Advertising. During 2001, Debtor began negotiations for a new television agreement to replace its existing television agreement that was due to expire at the end of the Series' 2001 season. The expiring agreement guaranteed that at least half of the Series' races would be shown on network television (ABC) and the balance of the races would be shown on ESPN. The expiring agreement also provided a guaranteed amount of income with no offsetting expenses plus a profit sharing arrangement. Unfortunately, Debtor was unable to negotiate an acceptable television agreement to replace the expiring agreement. Therefore, beginning in 2002, Debtor began buying the air-time and bearing the production costs for its television broadcasts in order to provide its race sponsors, race promoters and team sponsors with adequate television coverage of its races. Debtor's television revenue thus became dependent solely upon advertising and international rights sales. In addition, the new television agreements provided for fewer network broadcasts and a significant number of races broadcast on a cable network with less exposure than ESPN. Due to adverse economic and industry developments, the revenue generated from sales of television advertising was significantly less than the costs to produce and air the television broadcasts.

d. Sponsorship Revenues. Beginning in 1999, Debtor had outsourced its sponsorship sales pursuant to a long-term contract which guaranteed Debtor a minimum amount of annual sponsorship revenue plus escalations on an annual basis. At the beginning of 2001, however, Debtor's sponsorship sales partner defaulted on its contract, ceased operations and filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result, Debtor was required to build an internal sponsorship sales force. This sales force had to operate under adverse economic conditions that caused corporate sponsors to reduce their expenditures for both teams and the Series. The decline in sponsorship revenue was also attributable to Debtor's weakened television package, as Debtor's sponsors valued a sponsorship opportunity largely on the amount of exposure they receive on television. In some cases, corporate sponsors left the Series to align themselves with IRL. In other cases, corporate sponsors left motorsports altogether. Debtor's title sponsor for the previous four years decided not to renew its title sponsorship and withdrew from the Series after the 2002 season.

In October, 2002, the Parent retained Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. ("Bear Stearns"), a well-regarded national investment banking and financial advisory firm, to assist in evaluating potential strategic alternatives to increase shareholder value, prepare marketing materials relating to the sale or financing of Debtor, assist in the preparation and implementation of a marketing plan relating to the sale or financing of Debtor, solicit purchase or financing offers for the Parent, Debtor or their respective assets from qualified buyers or financiers, and assist in structuring and negotiating any transaction resulting therefrom. The Parent was further advised in these regards by the nationally recognized law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP ("Cravath").

Bear Stearns took numerous steps to attempt to find a buyer, merger partner, financing or some other financial solution to Debtor's financial problems, including but not limited to: (1) Bear Stearns, together with management, prepared a Confidential Information Memorandum (the "Marketing Book"); and (2) Bear Stearns contacted potential strategic acquirers, equity investors and financing sources concerning strategic alternatives. There were no limitations set by the Parent on the types of investors, buyers or merger/financial partners Bear Stearns could contact or on the structure or type of transaction Bear Stearns could review and present to Parent or Debtor.

From May through September 2003, Bear Stearns contacted or was contacted by forty-four (44) potential strategic and financial investors, many of whom were strategic investors within the motorsports community, including Kevin Kalkhoven, Gerald Forsythe and Paul Gentilozzi, principals of Open Wheel Racing Series LLC and its affiliate Open Wheel Acquisition Corporation
(collectively referred to as "OWRS"). As of September 10, 2003, twenty-four (24)
prospective investors, including IRL and an affiliate of NASCAR, had executed confidentiality agreements with the Parent and received a copy of the Marketing Book.

During this time, the overall economic, financial and operating conditions affecting Debtor's business continued to deteriorate. Consequently, it became clear that Debtor might not have sufficient resources to fund the Series in 2004, even if the entry support, team participation and team assistance payments were reduced.

- 8 -

On August 15, 2003, OWRS delivered a letter to the Parent outlining an acquisition proposal. On August 18, 2003, Cravath, Parent's counsel, delivered a draft merger agreement to OWRS' counsel.

On August 19, 2003, two proposals were received expressing preliminary interest. Bear Stearns assisted the Parent and the Parent's counsel, Cravath, in evaluating those proposals from a financial point of view and the contingencies related thereto.

In an effort to solicit a proposal that was superior to OWRS' merger proposal, Bear Stearns suggested that the Parent's board of directors direct Bear Stearns to contact all potential strategic and financial investors whom Bear Stearns had previously contacted or who had previously contacted Bear Stearns (excluding representatives of OWRS) during its solicitation effort to advise these entities or individuals that the Parent had entered into a merger agreement with OWRS and to provide them with copies of the preliminary version of a proxy statement filed by the Parent with the SEC on October 7, 2003. On or about October 9, 2003, Bear Stearns was directed and did send re-solicitation letters to all such potential acquirers and financing sources.

Given the lack of competing offers, Parent had limited negotiating leverage as it negotiated a merger agreement with OWRS. On September 10, 2003, Parent and OWRS executed the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 20, 2003 (the "Merger Agreement").

The Merger Agreement is and has been since its execution a public document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and readily available through SEC internet access sites. Debtor was not a party to the Merger Agreement. Because the Merger Agreement contemplated only the substitution of an OWRS affiliate for the many public shareholders (and thereby become the owner of the entity resulting from the merger of Parent with another OWRS affiliate), the merger was never contemplated to have any direct result on Debtor, its assets, liabilities, financial condition or Debtor's creditors.

Subsequent to the public announcement of the merger on September 10, 2003, and despite Bear Stearns solicitation and re-solicitation efforts, Bear Stearns received no new proposals from strategic acquirers, equity investors or financing sources concerning strategic alternatives nor did any entities or individuals request a copy of the Marketing Book.

On December 2, 2003, the merger collapsed. OWRS advised the Parent that OWRS believed that a number of the conditions precedent to a closing of the merger could not occur and that OWRS would not waive any of the closing conditions. Irrespective of the Parent's view on the likelihood that many of the conditions precedent questioned by OWRS could and would occur, after conferring with its counsel, the Parent believed that OWRS could assert that one of the conditions to closing could not be met. Thus, Parent concluded that the merger would not be consummated.

Thereafter, on December 15, 2003, Debtor entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "APA") with OWRS. The APA, which was contingent on Bankruptcy Court approval, called for the sale of substantially all of the Debtor's assets, as well as the assignment

of many of Debtor's executory contracts and unexpired leases to OWRS.2 The following day, on December 16, 2003, Debtor filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana.

ARTICLE III

THE CHAPTER 11 CASE

3.1. OVERVIEW OF CHAPTER 11.

Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code ("Chapter 11") contains the general reorganization provisions of the federal Bankruptcy Code. A corporation or other entity such as the Debtor may voluntarily commence a case under Chapter 11 for the purposes of reorganizing or restructuring its financial affairs (including its debt and equity capitalization). Upon the commencement of a Chapter 11 case an estate is created consisting of generally all property interests of the Chapter 11 "debtor" and an automatic stay goes into effect that generally stops creditors and all other parties from taking action outside of the Bankruptcy Court against the debtor or its assets. The United States Trustee, a federal official, typically appoints a committee of unsecured creditors to serve as a "watch dog" to protect the general interests of unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 case.

Often in Chapter 11 cases, debtors attempt to negotiate with representatives of key interested parties (such as secured creditors) or groups (unsecured creditors and shareholders) to develop plans that will provide the treatment of claims (in the case of creditors) and interests (in the case of shareholders). During a 120 day "exclusive period" after the commencement of the case, which may be shortened or lengthened by the Court, only a debtor may propose a Chapter 11 plan for confirmation by the Court. After the expiration of the "exclusive period" any party in interest may propose such a plan, including a plan that calls for the liquidation of the debtor company. When a plan is filed with the Court its proponent must also file a disclosure statement that provides to creditors and shareholders adequate information to allow them to cast informed votes to accept or reject the plan. If the Court approves the disclosure statement, the plan will be submitted to creditors and shareholders for voting. If sufficient numbers of creditors, representing a sufficient amount of claims, and holders of a sufficient number of shares vote to accept the plan and other requirements are met the Court may, after a hearing, "confirm" the plan.

After confirmation, the Plan will establish the rights and interests of creditors and shareholders in the Debtor's assets. For information regarding voting requirements for confirmation of the Plan, see pages 15-17.

3.2. SIGNIFICANT CHAPTER 11 EVENTS.

In an effort to preserve and maximize the value of its assets and its business operations, the Debtor took significant steps in its Chapter 11 case before filing the Plan. The significant Chapter 11 events to date include the following:

3.2.01. THE APA. Although the APA was entered into the day before the Debtor's Petition Date, it provided a process for the sale of substantially all of the Debtor's assets. Contingent upon Bankruptcy Court approval, the APA contemplated a sale of substantially all of the Debtor's assets, as well as the assumption and assignment of many of Debtor's executory contracts to OWRS or someone making a higher and better offer for the assets.

3.2.02. FILING THE PETITION. On December 16, 2003, Debtor filed its voluntary Chapter 11 petition in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. The Debtor employed various professionals to represent it and assist it in this chapter 11 case, principally the law firm of Baker & Daniels (as Chapter 11 counsel).

3.2.03. THE SALE MOTION AND SALE PROCEDURE MOTION. Among Debtor's first day motions were its Motion For Order Pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
Section 105(a), 363, 365 And 1146(c) And Fed. R. Bank. P. 2002, 6004 And 6006 (A) Approving the Asset Purchase Agreement; (B) Authorizing Sale And Transfer of Assets to Open Wheel Racing Series LLC Or To Another Highest Or Otherwise Best Bidder; And (C) Authorizing Assumption And Assignment Of Certain Executory Contracts And Leases Filed By Debtor (the "Sale Motion") and the accompanying Emergency Motion To Establish (A) Procedures For Sale Of Assets Free And Clear Of Liens, Claims, Encumbrances And Interests, (B) Certain Overbid Protections And A Break-Up Fee, (C) Form Of Notice For The Sale, And (D) Form Of Notice Regarding Assumption And Assignment Of Certain Executory Contracts (the "Sale Procedures Motion"). In the Sale Motion, the Debtor asked for authority to sell, subject to the receipt of a higher and better competing offer submitted pursuant to the sale procedures, as detailed in the Sales Procedures Motion, certain of its assets free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and interests, exclusive of any and all debts, liabilities, obligations, commitments or responsibilities associated therewith other than particularly identified assumed liabilities, and to assume and assign certain executory contracts and one or more unexpired leases in connection therewith to OWRS, pursuant to the terms of the APA.

3.2.04. THE CREDITORS' COMMITTEE. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
Section 1102(A), the United States Trustee appointed an Official Unsecured Creditors' Committee (the Committee") on December 24, 2003, which has remained active in this Chapter 11 case. The Court authorized the employment of Kroger, Gardis & Regas, LLP as counsel to the Committee.

3.2.05. SALE PROCEDURES. By an Order dated December 30, 2003, the Court set January 23, 2004 as the deadline for submitting bids and set specific guidelines for determining qualified bidders. the Order also established that OWRS, as the "stalking horse" bidder, was entitled to a break-up fee in the event of a sale to an alternate purchaser.

3.2.06. DEBTOR'S SCHEDULES. The Debtor filed its Statement of Affairs, Summary of Schedules, and Schedules on January 12, 2004.

- 11 -

3.2.07. THE SALE HEARING. On January 28, 2004, the Court held a hearing on the Sale Motion. In addition to the bid by OWRS, IRL was the only other party to submit a timely bid. The Court determined that IRL was a qualified bidder and therefore able to amend or enhance its bid during the hearing. After both OWRS and IRL made all of the proposals that each wished to amend and enhance their respective bids, counsel for the Creditors' Committee recommended to the Court for approval the proposals made by OWRS as constituting the highest and best bid offer. The Court agreed, and subsequently entered an Order authorizing the sale to OWRS.

3.2.08. SALE CLOSING. On February 13, 2004, the sale between OWRS and Debtor closed.

3.2.09. BAR DATE. In an Order dated February 18, 2004, the Court set March 31, 2004 as the bar date for all pre-petition claims against the Debtors.

3.2.10. THE SANCTIONING AGREEMENT. In an Order dated April 12, 2004, the Court granted Debtor's Motion For An Order Authorizing Debtor To Enter Into A Sanctioning Agreement With Open Wheel Racing Series LLC. Not only did the Sanctioning Agreement provide CCWS the needed sanctioning pursuant to ACCUS rules, but it also was beneficial to the estate; CCWS agreed to pay $12,500 in sanctioning fees for each Event sanctioned by the Debtor.

3.2.11. SALE OF THE LAGUNA SECA NOTE AND THE LAGUNA SECA RECEIVABLE. In an Order dated May 6, 2004, the Court granted Debtor's Motion for an Order Authorizing Debtor to Sell Promissory Note and Account Receivable. Pursuant to the Order, the Debtor was authorized to sell the Laguna Seca Note and the Laguna Seca Receivable to CCWS for $150,000. At the time the Order was entered, Laguna Seca had filed a proof of claim (the "Laguna Seca Proof of Claim") in the Chapter 11 Case for $59,190.24. The Order noted that that Laguna Seca Receivable, which was in the amount of $74,000, was subject to setoff by the Laguna Seca Proof of Claim if and to the extent the Laguna Seca Proof of Claim was later allowed by the Court.

3.2.12. 88 CORP. LITIGATION. The 88 Corp. Litigation remains an ongoing issue in the Chapter 11 Case. A summary of the 88 Corp. Litigation is below:

On January 16, 2004, 88 Corp. and one or more of its affiliates filed 88 Corp. And The California Speedway Corporation's Motion To Condition The Debtor's Use Of Property (the "Constructive Trust Motion") asserting that the Court should impose a constructive trust on funds held by the Debtor representing installments of sanction fees paid by 88 Corp. to the Debtor with respect to the 2003 Event. 88 Corp. and one or more of its affiliates filed a proof of a Claim on March 30, 2004 asserting Claims against the Estate (the "88 Corp. POC").

Debtor has opposed and intends to continue to vigorously oppose the allowance of the 88 Corp. POC or the granting of the relief requested by the Constructive Trust Motion. The Estate's Claims Against 88 Corp. and the Debtor's opposition to the 88 Corp. POC and the Constructive Trust Motion are collectively referred to herein as the "88 Corp. Litigation". The Plan preserves and retains all 88 Corp. Litigation for enforcement subsequent to the Transfer Date by the Liquidating Trustee.

- 12 -

Debtor contends that the Estate holds good and valuable claims against 88 Corp. arising out of a sanctioning agreement between Debtor and 88 Corp. dated October 29, 1999 (the "Fontana Agreement") with respect to Champ Car racing events (each an "Event") that the parties agreed would occur at the Fontana California Speedway ("Fontana") during each of the years 2000 through 2004. Debtor's claims, referred to herein as the "Estate's Claims Against 88 Corp.", arise out of 88 Corp's cancellation of the 2003 and 2004 Events

Debtor contends that 88 Corp. cancelled and failed to stage the 2003 Competition, without legal justification or excuse, in material breach of the Fontana Agreement. The Fontana Agreement provided two permissible grounds for 88 Corp. to cancel or fail to stage an Event, which are provided for in Sections 9(A) and 9(B), respectively. Pursuant to the CART Rule Book and under
Section 9(A) of the Fontana Agreement, 88 Corp. had the right to cancel an Event if CART failed by the closing date for entries, and after seven (7) days written notice of 88 Corp.'s intent to cancel, to provide at least twenty (20) entrants for the Event. Section 9(B) additionally granted either party the right to cancel an Event due to a "force majeure," as defined in the Promoter Agreement. There are no other legally permissible justifications for canceling or failing to stage a Competition pursuant to the Fontana Agreement.

Paragraph 9(C) of the Fontana Agreement provides that:

If Organizer/Promoter [i.e., 88 Corp.] cancels or fails to stage a Competition for any reason other than those mentioned in this paragraph 9, Organizer/Promoter shall forthwith pay to CART and CART shall be entitled to enforce collection of the total amount required under this Agreement for such Competition and the next succeeding year's Competition as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, together with all costs incurred by CART in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney fees, and interest at the rate of prime, as published by Citibank, NA, New York, New York, on the first day of the quarter in which the breach occurred; provided, however, that Organizer/Promoter's liability under this liquidated damage provision will be limited to the total amount due for the cancelled Event and the Event for the following year only.

Debtor maintains that 88 Corp.'s cancellation of, and failure to stage, the 2003 Competition as scheduled on November 2, 2003, was not justified by any reason mentioned in Paragraph 9 of the Fontana Agreement. 88 Corp. does not contend that CART failed to provide the requisite number of entrants for the 2003 Competition under Paragraph 9(A) of the Fontana Agreement. 88 Corp. contends that, as a result of the wildfires in southern California in October of 2003, the cancellation of the 2003 Competition was justified by the "force majeure" provision under Paragraph 9(B) of the Fontana Agreement.

Debtor disputes this contention. Even if the wildfires did prevent the running of the 2003 Competition on its scheduled date, 88 Corp. and its affiliates failed to schedule the 2003 Competition for the "[n]ext clear day" as provided in the Fontana Agreement. The only alternative dates 88 Corp. and its affiliates offered were long after the 2003 Champ Car Series was scheduled to conclude with the declaration of the winner of the Vanderbilt Cup. .

- 13 -

In October 2003, prior to the cancellation of the 2003 Competition, 88 Corp. also unilaterally cancelled the 2004 Event, without any legal justification or excuse, in breach of the Fontana Agreement. 88 Corp. cancelled the 2004 Event based on a Notice dated October 2, 2003 (the "October 2003 Notice"), which 88 Corp.'s subsidiary, The California Speedway Corporation, issued to Championship pursuant to Paragraph 9(A) of the Fontana Agreement. The October 2003 Notice stated that "the Organizer/ Promoter intends to cancel the 2004 Competition if CART is unable to provide not less than twenty (20) entrants for the 2004 Competition." When CART failed to identify twenty (20) entrants for the 2004 Competition within seven (7) days after the October 2003 Notice, 88 Corp. (through its parent, International Speedway Corporation) took the position that "CART's failure to respond to The California Speedway's notice of October 2, 2003, within the time permitted and the manner required by the existing sanction agreement [i.e., the Promoter Agreement] makes discussion of possible 2004 dates moot." Debtor contends that the October 2003 Notice was ineffective to provide a legal justification for cancellation of the 2004 Competition. The October 2003 Notice was ineffective for each of the following reasons: 88 Corp's unilateral cancellation of the 2004 Event constituted a material breach of the Fontana Agreement.

Pursuant to the Fontana Agreement, Debtor believes that 88 Corp. is liable to the Estate in an amount of $5.2 million (that is, $2.6 million for the cancelled 2003 Event and $2.6 million for the cancelled 2004 Event) plus prejudgment interest and attorneys fees expended by the Estate to pursue the Estate's Claims Against 88 Corp.

3.3. MONTHLY OPERATING REPORTS.

The Debtor has filed monthly operating reports for each month during the pendency of its Chapter 11 Case. The most recent report filed, as of the date of this Disclosure Statement, was for the month of April, 2004. The operating reports reflect, inter alia, the following:

ARTICLE IV

VOTING AND PLAN CONFIRMATION

4.1. VOTING ON THE PLAN.

4.1.01. IMPAIRED CLAIMS OR INTEREST. Pursuant to Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, only the holders of Claims or Interests in Classes "Impaired" by the Plan may vote on the Plan. Pursuant to Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a Class of Claims or Interests may be "Impaired" if the Plan alters the legal, equitable or contractual rights of the Holders of such Claims or Interests treated in such Class.

4.1.02. ELIGIBILITY. In order to vote on the Plan, a Creditor and/or Interest Holder must have timely filed or been assigned a timely filed proof of Claim or Interest, unless its Claim or Interest is scheduled by the Debtor and is not identified as disputed, unliquidated or contingent on the Debtor's Schedules of Assets and Liabilities (the "Schedules").

4.1.03. BINDING EFFECT. Whether a Creditor or Interest Holder votes on the Plan or not, such Person will be bound by the terms of the Plan if the Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. Absent some affirmative act constituting a vote, a Creditor or Interest Holder will not be included in the vote: (i) for purposes of accepting or rejecting the Plan; or (ii) for purposes of determining the number of Persons voting on the Plan.

4.1.04. PROCEDURE. The Bankruptcy Code entitles only Holders of Impaired Claims or Interests who receive some distribution under a proposed plan to vote to accept or reject that plan. Holders of Claims or Interests that are unimpaired under a proposed plan are conclusively presumed to have accepted that plan and are not entitled to vote on it. Holders in classes of Claims or Interests that will receive no distribution under a proposed plan are conclusively presumed to reject that plan and are, therefore, also not entitled to vote on it.

Classes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are Impaired by the Plan. Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 1, 2, and 3 will receive Distributions under the Plan and the Holder of the Allowed Claim in Class 4 may receive one or more Distributions under the Plan and therefore all such Holders of Claims are entitled to vote by casting a Ballot to accept or reject the Plan. The Holder of Interests in Class 5 will receive no Distributions under the Plan and is deemed to reject the Plan.

A BALLOT FOR ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN IS BEING PROVIDED ONLY TO HOLDERS OF CLAIMS IN CLASSES ENTITLED TO VOTE. In order for your vote to count, you must complete, date, sign and properly mail the enclosed Ballot (please note that envelopes have been included with the Ballot) to:

Melissa M. Hinds
BAKER & DANIELS
300 North Meridian, Ste. 2700
Indianapolis, IN 46204

- 15 -

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3017, the Bankruptcy Court has ordered that original Ballots for the acceptance or rejection of the Plan must be received by mail or overnight delivery by counsel to the Debtor at the address set forth above on or before 4:00 p.m., _____, 2004 Eastern Time. Once you have delivered your Ballot, you may not change your vote, except for cause shown to the Bankruptcy Court after notice and hearing.

Any Ballot received by counsel to the Debtor that is incomplete in any way shall be deemed to be cast as follows:

(i) Ballots received that do not evidence the amount or evidence an incorrect amount of such Creditor's Claim or such Interest Holder's Interest shall be completed or corrected, as the case may be, based upon the Schedules filed by the Debtor if no proof of Claim or Interest has been filed by such Creditor or Interest holder, or based upon timely filed proofs of Claim or Interest, and counted as a vote to accept or reject the Plan;

(ii) Ballots received that do not identify the Creditor or Interest Holder, whether or not signed by the Creditor or Interest Holder, shall not be counted as a vote to accept or reject the Plan;

(iii) Ballots received that do not reflect in which Class such Ballot is cast or incorrectly classify such Creditor's Claim or Interest Holder's Interest and that are otherwise properly completed shall be completed or corrected, as the case may be, and counted as a vote to accept or reject the Plan; and

(iv) Ballots that are completed, except that such Creditor or Interest Holder failed to vote to accept or reject the Plan, shall be completed and counted as a vote to accept the Plan.

4.2. ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN.

4.2.01. CREDITOR AND INTEREST HOLDER ACCEPTANCE. As a Creditor and/or Interest Holder, your acceptance of the Plan is important. In order for the Plan to be accepted by an Impaired Class of Claims, a majority in number and two-thirds in dollar amount of the Claims voting (of each Impaired Class of Claims) must vote to accept the Plan, or the Plan must qualify for cramdown of any non-accepting Class pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. In any case, at least one impaired Class of Creditors, excluding the votes of Insiders, must actually vote to accept the Plan. You are urged to complete, date, sign and promptly mail the enclosed Ballot. Please be sure to complete the Ballot properly and legibly identify the exact amount of your Claim or Interest and the name of the Creditor or Interest Holder.

4.2.02. CRAMDOWN ELECTION. If all Classes do not accept the Plan, but at least one Impaired Class votes to accept the Plan, excluding the votes of Insiders, the Debtor may attempt to invoke the "cramdown" provisions. Cramdown may be an available remedy, because the Debtor believes that, with respect to each Impaired Class, the Plan is fair and equitable within the meaning of Section 1129(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and does not discriminate unfairly.

- 16 -

4.3. CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN.

4.3.01. REQUIREMENTS. The requirements for Confirmation of the Plan are set forth in detail in Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The following summarizes some of the pertinent requirements:

a. ACCEPTANCE BY IMPAIRED CLASSES. Except to the extent that the cramdown provisions of Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code may be invoked, each Class of Claims and each Class of Interests must either vote to accept the Plan or be deemed to accept the Plan because the Claims or Interests of such Class are not Impaired.

b. FEASIBILITY. The Bankruptcy Court is required to find that the Plan is likely to be implemented and that parties required to perform or pay monies under the Plan will be able to do so.

c. "BEST INTEREST" TEST. The Bankruptcy Court must find that the Plan is in the "best interest" of all Creditors. To satisfy this requirement, the Bankruptcy Court must determine that each holder of a Claim against, or Interest in, the Debtor: (i) has accepted the Plan; or (ii) will receive or retain under the Plan money or other property which, as of the Effective Date, has a value not less than the amount such holder would receive if the Debtor's property was liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

d. "CRAMDOWN" PROVISIONS. Under the circumstances which are set forth in detail in Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court may confirm the Plan even though a Class of Claims or Interests has not accepted the Plan, so long as one Impaired Class of Claims has accepted the Plan, excluding the votes of Insiders, if the Plan is fair and equitable and does not discriminate unfairly against such non-accepting Classes. The Debtor will invoke the "cramdown" provisions of Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code should any voting Class fail to accept the Plan.

4.3.02. PROCEDURE. To confirm the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court must hold a hearing to determine whether the Plan meets the requirements of

4.3.04. EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, Confirmation vests title to property of the Debtor's estate in the Liquidating Trust; free and clear of all Claims and liens of Creditors subject to the provisions of the Plan. Confirmation serves to make the Plan binding upon the Debtor, all Creditors, Interest Holders and other parties-in-interest, regardless of whether they cast a Ballot to accept or reject the Plan.

The Plan provides for the liquidation of the Assets in the manner and within the time frames set forth below:

5.1.02. CREATION OF THE CART LIQUIDATION TRUST AND TRANSFER OF THE REMAINING ESTATE ASSETS TO CART LIQUIDATION TRUST. Upon the Transfer Date, the Remaining Estate Assets will be transferred and assigned, pursuant to the Liquidation Trust Agreement, to a newly formed Michigan trust which will be known as the CART Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trustee, Thomas L.

Bankruptcy Court, unless such matters are presently subject to a pending, contested matter or adversary proceeding before the Bankruptcy Court, or other court of competent jurisdiction.

5.1.04. AVOIDANCE ACTIONS. The Liquidation Trustee , at the direct of the Creditors' Committee, will perform an analysis of potential Avoidance Actions. To the extent such actions are identified, the CART Liquidation Trust will, subject to the discretion of the Liquidation Trustee and the Creditors' Committee, commence adversary proceedings in an effort to recover all avoidable transfers. The net proceeds of such Avoidance Actions will be distributed pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

5.1.05. LIQUIDATION OF THE TRUST ASSETS. The Liquidation Trustee shall take all actions necessary and appropriate to liquidate all of the Trust Assets. The sale of any Trust Assets shall be free and clear of any and all liens, claims, interests and encumbrances pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. The proceeds from the liquidation of such Trust Assets will be distributed Pro Rata to the Holders of Claims or Interests in Class 4 according to the terms of the Plan, as summarized below.

5.1.06. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTION DATES.

- 19 -

terms, is not due or payable by the Initial Distribution Date) shall be paid in full, but without interest, no later than the Initial Distribution Date from the Available Cash. The aggregate amount of any Contested Administrative Claims as of the Distribution Date shall be set aside by the Debtor in the Contested Administrative Claim Reserve. Contested Administrative Claims that are thereafter Allowed shall be paid from the Contested Administrative Claim Reserve. Such payment shall be made as and when authorized by a Final Order. To the extent that there remain funds in the Contested Administrative Claims Reserve after all Allowed Administrative Claims have been paid in full, such remaining funds shall be distributed by the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with this Plan.

5.3.02. PROFESSIONAL FEES AND EXPENSES. Any entity retained and requesting compensation pursuant to Sections 327, 328, 330, or 331 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be entitled to file an application for allowance of final compensation and reimbursement of expenses for time expended and expenses incurred from and after the Petition Date, and through the Confirmation Date, not later than the thirtieth (30) day after the Confirmation Date.

5.5.05. ESTIMATED PLAN DISTRIBUTION. The Allowed
Administrative Claims, Priority Employee Benefit Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Priority Wage Claims, and the Secured Claim shall be paid in full under the Plan.

5.9. PLAN CONTROLS.

5.9.01. PLAN PROVISIONS CONTROL. In the event and to the extent that any provision of the Plan is inconsistent with the provisions of this Disclosure Statement or any other agreement or instrument required or contemplated to be executed by the Debtor, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

5.10.01. PROVISIONS OF PLAN ARE BINDING.

The Debtor has not determined the character of any gain or loss to be recognized by an Interest Holder with respect to any distribution such Interest Holder may receive under the Plan. CREDITORS AND INTEREST HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS MADE UNDER THE PLAN.

ARTICLE VI

POST CONFIRMATION ISSUES

6.1. CONTINUED EXISTENCE AFTER CONFIRMATION.

6.1.01. CANCELLATION OF OLD STOCK, ISSUANCE AND TRANSFER OF NEW STOCK. As of the Effective Date, and in accordance with the Subordination Agreement, in which the Parent agreed to subordinate its Claim to the Allowed Claims of Debtor's other Claimants, the existing equity ownership in CART held by the parent (the "Old Stock") will be cancelled. As of the Transfer Date, Debtor shall issue the New Stock. Debtor will transfer such New Stock to CCWS, or to such other buyer if a higher or better offer by such buyer is received, for the New Stock Consideration. The New Stock Consideration shall be deposited in and become part of the Contested Unsecured Claim Reserve and therefore be part of the Remaining Estate Assets transferred to the CART Liquidation Trust.

6.1.02. EFFECT OF TRANSFER OF NEW STOCK ON DEBTOR'S ACCUS MEMBERSHIP; SOFTWARE LICENSES. Because the Remaining Estate Assets exclude Debtor's membership in ACCUS and Debtor's Software Licenses, upon the sale of the New Stock to the New Stock Buyer, the New Stock Buyer will control Debtor's ACCUS membership and Software Licenses.

6.1.03. WIND-UP OF AFFAIRS. Upon the Confirmation Date, the CART Liquidation Trust shall continue as a limited liability company solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs, prosecuting and defending actions or proceedings by or against them, collecting and discharging obligations, disposing and conveying its property, collecting and dividing the Remaining Estate Assets and consummating the terms of the Plan.

6.1.04. ROLE OF THE CREDITORS' COMMITTEE. From and after the Effective Date, and until the Final Distribution Date, the Creditors' Committee shall continue in existence to oversee the actions of the Liquidating Trustee and to otherwise take any action necessary in connection with the implementation of the Plan. The professionals retained by the Creditors' Committee shall be entitled to payment from the CART Liquidation Trust of compensation or reimbursement of expenses only for services-performed with respect to monitoring the implementation of the Plan. Members of the Creditors' Committee shall be entitled to

- 23 -

reimbursement by the CART Liquidation Trust for their actual reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

6.1.05. NO SUCCESSOR LIABILITY. The New Stock Buyer is not assuming and shall not in any way whatsoever be liable or responsible, as successor or otherwise, for any Claims, liabilities, debts or obligations of Debtor or the Liquidation Trustee.

6.1.06. DISCHARGE. Pursuant to Section 1141(d)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, confirmation of the Plan shall discharge the Debtor from any Claim that arose prior to the Confirmation Date, and any Claim of the type specified in Sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not a proof of claim is filed or deemed filed, the Claim is Allowed, or the holder of the Claim accepted the Plan. Without limitation of the foregoing, all Distributions after the Initial Distributions shall be made from the CART Liquidation Trust and the Debtor shall have no liability for any such Distributions.

6.2. EMPLOYMENT OF COUNSEL AND FEES.

6.2.01. EMPLOYMENT OF PROFESSIONALS AFTER CONFIRMATION. All professionals employed by the Debtor and the Creditors' Committee during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case shall continue to be employed, and will be entitled to compensation as Administrative Claims from the estate for their services after the Effective Date and until the closing of the Chapter 11 Case. Compensation for professionals' services rendered after the Effective Date by such professionals shall be payable by the CART Liquidation Trust upon presentment of a statement for services rendered and for reimbursement of expenses without the necessity of further Order of the Bankruptcy Court allowing such fees and expenses. However, should the CART Liquidation Trust dispute all or any portion of such statement, and such dispute cannot be resolved by the affected parties, the CART Liquidation Trust shall pay the undisputed portion of such statement and shall submit the disputed portion to the Bankruptcy Court for determination, upon notice only to the professional that submitted such statement.

6.3. EXCULPATION AND RELEASE OF CERTAIN CLAIMS.

6.3.01. EXCULPATION. The CART Liquidation Trust and the Debtor and its respective attorneys, financial advisors and agents; and the Committee and its present and former members and their respective attorneys, financial advisors and agents; shall not have, nor shall they incur, any liability to any Creditor, Interest Holder or to any other Person for any act or omission in connection with or arising out of the Debtor's Chapter 11 Case or out of their administration of the Plan or property of the Debtor's estate or the amounts to be distributed under the Plan except for their own recklessness or willful misconduct, and in all respects they shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan.

- 24 -

ARTICLE VII

FEASIBILITY

7.1. FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS.

7.1.01. BANKRUPTCY CODE STANDARD. The Bankruptcy Code requires that, in order to confirm the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court must find that Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtor unless contemplated by the Plan.

7.1.02. NO NEED FOR FURTHER REORGANIZATION OF THE DEBTOR. The Plan provides for the distribution of all of the Asset Sale Proceeds and the liquidation of all of the Remaining Assets. Accordingly, the Debtor believes that all Plan obligations will be satisfied without the need for further reorganization of the Debtor.

ARTICLE VIII

ALTERNATIVES TO THE PLAN

8.1. CHAPTER 7 LIQUIDATION.

8.1.01. BANKRUPTCY CODE STANDARD. Notwithstanding acceptance of the Plan by the requisite number of Creditors and Interest Holders of any Class, the Bankruptcy Court must still independently determine that the Plan provides each member of each Impaired Class of Claims and Interests a recovery that has a value at least equal to the value of the distribution that each such Person would receive if the Debtor were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on the Effective Date.

8.1.02. PLAN IS IN BEST INTEREST OF CREDITORS. The Debtor believes that the Plan satisfies this standard because the Plan provides for an orderly distribution of the Asset Sale Proceeds and the liquidation of any Remaining Assets. Furthermore, the Debtor believes that the Plan also provides Creditors with a degree of certainty that would not exist if the estate were subject to a Chapter 7 liquidation and eliminates all risks and expenses of the marketplace and continual administration of the Debtor. In particular, in the event of conversion to a Chapter 7 case there is no assurance that a trustee would seek subordination of the Subordinated Claim that the Parent has agreed to Subordinate as part of the package represented by this Plan. If all or any substantial part of Parent's Subordinated Claim were not subordinated, the allowed claims of general unsecured creditors then the percentage recover anticipated pursuant to this Plan would likely be significantly diminished. In addition, there is also no assurance that a trustee would be able to negotiate the sale of the New Stock. In this regard, in the event of a liquidation under Chapter 7, it is not very likely that Creditors will receive payment of their Allowed Claims and the following is likely to occur:

a. Additional administrative expenses, including trustee's commissions, fees for trustee's accountant, attorneys and other professionals likely to be retained, would be incurred with priority over general unsecured claims under Section 507(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

- 25 -

b. Payment to each Class would likely be substantially delayed.

It is the Debtor's belief that in a Chapter 7 liquidation of the Debtor, the Unsecured Creditors would not receive a greater distribution than will be received pursuant to the Plan. Accordingly, the Debtor believes that the Plan is in the best interests of Creditors.

8.2. RISK FACTORS.

8.2.01. NO ASSURANCES. There can be no assurance by the Debtor of the success of any Avoidance Actions or other litigation.

8.3. RECOMMENDATIONS.

8.3.01. CONFIRMATION OF PLAN PROVIDES BEST OUTCOME It is the position of the Debtor and the Creditors' Committee that the Plan is substantially preferable to a liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Conversion of this Chapter 11 Case would result in: (i) substantial delays in the distribution of any proceeds (if any) available under such alternative;
(ii) increased uncertainty as to whether payments would be made to Unsecured Creditors; and (iii) substantially increased administrative costs.

THE DEBTOR RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN.

ARTICLE IX

CONCLUSION

It is important that you exercise your right to vote on the Plan. It is the Debtor's and the Committee's belief and recommendation that the Plan fairly and equitably provides for the treatment of all Claims against the Debtor.

Parent agrees that Parent will subordinate its right or claim to any payment with respect to the Parent Claim, and any and all other claims it may have against CART and CART's bankruptcy estate in the Chapter 11 Case to the full payment of all claims of all other creditors holding allowed unsecured claims against CART in the Chapter 11 Case (with such subordination referred to herein as the "Parent Subordination") subject to the "Conditions" defined in paragraph 2 below.

2. The Parent Subordination is subject to the following Conditions, that are conditions precedent to such Parent Subordination: 1) the Sale Motion is granted by the Court and becomes a final, non-appealable order and the APA is closed and 2) the Court enters an order that is final and non-appealable in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Parent (the "Release Order") approving a general release of any and all claims that may exist or may be asserted against the Parent by a) CART, b) CART's bankruptcy estate, c) any chapter 11 or chapter 7 trustee appointed for the CART bankruptcy estate, d) any statutory committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 Case, e) any entity appointed for the purpose of liquidating any assets or claims of CART and f) any creditor in the CART Chapter 11 Case who accepts any payment with respect to an allowed claim in the Chapter 11 Case.

3. Except to the extent counsel for CART advises CART that to do so would constitute a breach by CART of any of its duties as a debtor-in-possession, CART agrees to use its best efforts to obtain entry of the Release Order.

4. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Indiana and any dispute with regard to this agreement shall be presented to and resolved by the Court.

EXHIBIT 10.43

NEW EXHIBIT A

AGREEMENT

This Agreement (the "Agreement") is made between CART, Inc., a Michigan corporation with its principal place of business in Indianapolis, Indiana ("CART"), and Open Wheel Racing Series LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business in Indianapolis, Indiana ("OWRS").

RECITALS

A. CART is a debtor-in-possession in a chapter 11 case pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana (the "Bankruptcy Court"), Case No. 03-23385 (FJO) (the "Chapter 11 Case").

B. CART is the wholly owned subsidiary of Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Indianapolis, Indiana ("Championship").

C. CART, Championship, and OWRS are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 15, 2003, as amended by the January 15, 2004 Amendment By Interlineation and by the January 27, 2004 letter from OWRS to CART (as amended, the "APA"). Pursuant to the APA, CART agreed to sell substantially all of its assets to OWRS, and Championship agreed to sell certain of its assets to OWRS (collectively, the "Acquired Assets").

D. On February 2, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered its Order approving the APA and the sale of the Acquired Assets to OWRS (the "Sale Order"). The parties hereto closed the sale on February 13, 2004, and OWRS now owns title to the Acquired Assets.

E. Notwithstanding the sale of Acquired Assets, CART continues to operate its business and financial affairs as a debtor-in-possession in the Chapter 11 Case, and retains ownership of its receivables and other assets. It is contemplated by the parties that CART will


soon propose a Chapter 11 plan for the purposes of, among other things, administering its remaining assets, making distributions to creditors, and concluding the Chapter 11 Case (the "Plan").

F. OWRS purchased the Acquired Assets for the sole purpose of continuing the Champ Car racing series as the Champ Car World Series ("CCWS") in 2004 and beyond. As part of the APA and Sale Order, OWRS has assumed the obligations of CART under certain promoter agreements to conduct races during the CCWS (the "Promoter Agreements").

G. The Automobile Competition Committee for the United States/FIA, Inc. ("ACCUS") recognizes CART as a member of ACCUS. As a member of ACCUS, CART is entitled to appoint two representatives and one alternate to the ACCUS board of directors.

H. ACCUS represents the Federation Internationale de 1' Automobile ("FIA") as the national sporting authority for the United States, governing all phases of international motor sports. The primary purpose of ACCUS is to encourage cooperation among domestic and international motorsports organizations that conduct and sanction races in the United States.

I. CART's membership in ACCUS is a valuable asset that CART intends to utilize by sanctioning races in 2004 and perhaps beyond.

J. It is important that the CCWS be properly sanctioned by a member in good standing of ACCUS. OWRS may require some period of time to obtain its own membership status in ACCUS, which period might extend beyond the scheduled dates for one or more of the 2004 CCWS races. Therefore, OWRS and CART desire for CART to act as the sanctioning body of the CCWS 2004 Competitions (as defined in the Promoter Agreements) that are conducted in the United States, as necessary.

-2-

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. 2004 CHAMP CAR WORLD SERIES. OWRS will conduct the 2004 CCWS, which includes (a) the Champ Car Competitions, and (b) the Competitions in the supporting series known as the "Toyota Atlantic Championship Series" and the "Formula BMW USA Series." OWRS shall have sole and exclusive control in selecting the number and location of races and negotiating the terms and conditions of the financial agreements with promoters. OWRS shall also have sole and exclusive control in negotiating any agreements or arrangements with series sponsors, the television and radio media or other party interested in promoting the series. All monies, compensation and revenues of any kind in connection with the CCWS or of any single race are and will be the sole and exclusive property of OWRS, and CART acknowledges that it has no claim or right to said receipts.

2. SANCTIONING OF 2004 COMPETITIONS. CART shall use its best efforts to remain a member of ACCUS, and shall use its best efforts to provide all necessary sanctioning authority for the CCWS in the United States and will at the request OWRS sanction any of the Competitions that may occur during the calendar year 2004, and prior to the time OWRS achieves its own membership status in ACCUS. To perform its obligations hereunder, CART shall undertake all reasonable and necessary actions to maintain its status as a member of ACCUS. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, CART shall (a) remain current on its payment of listing fees and membership fees to ACCUS, (b) use its best efforts to have designated two representatives (one of which shall be suggested by OWRS and which suggestion shall be accepted by CART unless reasonably deemed by CART to be inappropriate) and one

-3-

alternate to the ACCUS board of directors, and (c) comply with the ACCUS bylaws. CART will use its best efforts to provide all FIA registrations, approvals and/or listings for the CCWS that may be required for the promotion and conduct of the races as requested by OWRS. CART may inspect track facilities that it deems necessary in order to fulfill its obligations under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that OWRS officials are informed in advance of such inspection. CART recognizes that OWRS intends to apply for membership in ACCUS, and CART will support such membership.

3. SANCTION FEES. In consideration of CART serving as the sanctioning body for the CCWS as provided herein, OWRS shall pay CART the sum of $12,500.00 for each Champ Car race held in the United States, payable 30 days in advance of each scheduled race that is sanctioned by CART (referred to herein as the "Sanction Fees"). In addition to the Sanction Fees, OWRS shall pay certain expenses incurred by CART as specifically identified herein. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, should CART lose its membership in ACCUS or for any other reason be unable to perform hereunder, the sole remedies of OWRS shall be to (a) terminate this Agreement and be relieved of its obligations hereunder, and (b) be relieved of having to pay CART any future Sanction Fees.

4. CART'S ACCUS-RELATED EXPENSES. In addition to the Sanction Fees, OWRS shall pay directly, or reimburse CART, the following expenses that are necessary to CART's performance under this Agreement: (a) ACCUS listing fees; (b) ACCUS membership fees (including international listing fees and National Motorsports Council fees); (c) actual, reasonable and necessary travel expenses incurred by not more than three (3) CART personnel to attend ACCUS meetings at which all members of ACCUS are convened; and (d) such other expenses incurred by CART as necessary to its performance of this Agreement, as evidenced by

-4-

invoices submitted to and approved by OWRS, but excluding any attorneys' fees incurred by CART.

5. USE OF OWRS EMPLOYEES. OWRS shall appoint the Chief Steward and/or Director of Competition who will have ultimate authority in conducting the races. OWRS will provide all required qualified personnel, adequate equipment, and all other items necessary for CART to provide the sanctioning services contemplated by this Agreement. OWRS shall provide all such personnel, equipment and other items at its sole cost and expense. Any and all such employees provided by OWRS shall remain employees of OWRS and shall not be deemed to be employees of CART. Neither OWRS, its representatives, members, officers or employees will do anything to jeopardize CART's membership in ACCUS.

6. PROMOTER AGREEMENTS. OWRS shall ensure that it performs its obligations as set forth in the Promoter Agreements for Competitions to be sanctioned by CART. OWRS shall promptly notify CART of any amendments to existing Promoter Agreements, and of any new Promoter Agreements entered into by OWRS with respect to Competitions to be sanctioned by CART, but only under a confidentiality agreement and only to the extent necessary to allow CART to review those provisions that pertain to safety issues and FIA/FISA compliance.

7. FIA/FISA COMPLIANCE. OWRS shall comply with all FIA Regulations, as defined in the FIA/FISA's code book of compliance, including without limitation, circuit inspections by FIA/FISA inspectors. All costs associated with such compliance shall be the sole responsibility of OWRS. OWRS shall promptly reimburse CART for any and all expenses incurred by it in connection with FIA/FISA compliance, including all costs and expenses associated with circuit inspections. All races governed by this Agreement will be operated in

-5-

accordance with and subject to the Official Competition Rules as adopted by OWRS. Such rules shall comply with applicable ACCUS and FIA standards. OWRS personnel that are required to wear uniforms at the Competitions shall include a CART-I.D. patch on such uniforms if required by FIA Regulations.

8. TRADEMARKS; PUBLICITY; CART IDENTIFICATION. All competition notices, competition bulletins and other written competition communications, and all series press releases, and series media and marketing materials which contain Competition results, timing and scoring information or other race-related information, must include the phrase "sanctioned by CART." Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, OWRS reserves the right to grant to promoters and/or sponsors the right to use their names or the names of their products in connection with any race or the entire series, in any way or manner that OWRS deems to be in the best interests of this series. Any and all rights to any trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights, including any fanciful or derivative name, that have or may hereafter arise from the championship race series, shall be and remain vested in, inure to the benefit of, and be and remain the sole and separate property of OWRS. All press, media and promotional activity connected in any way with the CCWS is and shall be the sole and separate responsibility of OWRS.

9. INSURANCE. OWRS shall have all promoters of Competitions sanctioned by CART include CART as an additional named insured. In addition, OWRS shall carry insurance naming CART as an additional insured in amounts and by forms of coverage no less protective of CART than provided by those policies of insurance maintained by CART for its Champ Car racing series conducted in 2003.

pay all costs reasonably incurred by CART (including reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with the defense or settlement of such Indemnified Claim.
