I think the whole Indy/champ car split was really bad for the sport.
It was devastating to be sure, but during the split each series got much better ratings than they do now that the series is unified. Viewership has done nothing but go down since reunification, and it's from both sides. Meanwhile, new fans are sparse. I'm one of not many people who got into AOWR after the split. I started out watching Champ Car because it was like F1 which I was already into. Now having been involved for a couple of years, I think if the split had been done professionally and amicably, that AOWR would have been much better off regardless.
