2008 Champ Car World Series

The 2008 Champ Car World Series season would have been the 5th season of the Champ Car World Series and 30th season of the series dating back to the 1979 formation of Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART). It was scheduled to begin on April 20, 2008, and end on November 9.

The season was canceled on February 22, 2008, because of the buyout of Champ Car by the rival IndyCar Series, resulting in the unification of American open-wheel racing. As per the conditions of the agreement between series, Champ Car was dissolved as an entity, with IndyCar acquiring the historical records of the series as part of the "non-tangible and tangible assets of Champ Car". Some of the teams, drivers and events went on to compete in the unified series, and the remnants of the former Champ Car series filed for bankruptcy.
