        Open-wheel racing in America substantially changed in 2008, as the IndyCar Series and Champ Car World Series agreed to unify and end their 12-year spit. The unity had positive results for the series, with the addition of drivers and teams as well as a larger schedule, 19 events in all, including the final Champ Car event in Long Beach, CA. The series produced five first-time race winners, including female driver Danica Patrick. Scott Dixon capped off the year by winning his second series championship, but not without a late-season fight from Helio Castroneves.

        The 2008 Formula One season was one for the record books, as the sport crowned its youngest champion ever in Lewis Hamilton. The rivalry between McLaren Mercedes and Ferrari intensified with both teams continuing to battle for head of the class. Seven different drivers won a grand prix in 2008, with three of them claiming their first career victories, and two new street circuits were introduced to F1 this year. Though it was a memorable season, the future of the sport will likely see massive changes, as recent cost-cutting measures have been taken to ensure the survivability of many teams due to the global economic slowdown.
