Tony Kanaan to Formula Nippon!!

Only for a one-off appearance though

Quote:
Former IndyCar champion Tony Kanaan is to contest the ninth round of the Japanese Formula Nippon Series at Suzuka next month.

The Brazilian driver has accepted an invitation from Japan Race Promition to contest the event, although the Andretti Green Racing ace will not be eligible to score championship points.

Time to scare some more poor innocents lurking around the IRL forum by bumping this thread back up.

But more importantly TK qualified 18th for the race and finished 6th and seemed to have a generally good time.

He said he wants to come back next year.

Not bad for only having 2 practice sessions and not having done a standing start in 12 years...
