  autosport.com - Champ Car News: V8 Supercar deny Champ Car linkup
V8 Supercar chairman Tony Cochrane has denied any likely linkup between the V8 Supercar series and Champ Car in future overseas events, after confirming Champ Car had not spoken with V8 Supercar officials.
Earlier this week, Champ Car and V8 Supercar team co-owner Craig Gore suggested it would be a good idea for the two series to combine forces at events in the future, but comments from V8 Supercar chairman Cochrane seem to have put the possibility of such an idea beyond doubt.
The V8 Supercar chairman said the current deal had worked well at Surfers Paradise, but then confirmed that the deal expired in 2008 and that no plans had been formed nor discussions taken place for the combined event to continue after next season.

 Daryl Beattie to join the V8 Supercar ranks this weekend
Beattie's only previous V8 Supercar driving experience has been 20 test laps in Paul Morris' Sirromet Wines Holden Commodore at Queensland Raceway during the past two months, and a session in the IMS car at Calder Park in Melbourne two weeks ago.
Beattie said his interest in competing in V8 Supercars was fuelled after driving Morris' car for the first time in July, when he clocked a best lap of 1-min 14.26-secs around the 3.1km Queensland Raceway.
Beattie said driving a V8 Supercar, which weighs 1,350kg and generates 600-horsepower, was considerably different to the 500cc motorcycles he raced (130kg and 200-horsepower).
