Mazda was the best choice I thought but then they withdraw from Road to Indy. So Mazda is out.
Hyundai would be nice, but I doubt it. And BMW? Forget it! |

The boring oval races should have prevented that.

For those of you, who are interested in what other series IndyCar drivers race in, RH-R co-drove the winning Cadillac DPi in their first win at Petit Le Mans, Road Atlanta. So congrats to him.

RH-R is probably the most under-rated driver in the Indycar series.
Other present/former Indycar drivers at Petit LM: Spencer Pigot: P3 Tristan Vautier, Christian Fittipaldi: P4 Graham Rahal, Helio Castroneves: P5 Scott Sharp: P11 Numerous others placed lower. |

In this article Alonso says:
"A full IndyCar season was never an option that I wanted because of the implication it carries." "If they (McLaren) were to enter IndyCar full time it was never going to be with me, so it changes nothing." http://classic.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/139518 |

I'm sure we shouldn't rule out the Indy 500 and maybe a few other appearances to help him prepare

The second Carlin seat will go to Ericsson.
Juncos will field just one fulltime seat – could be shared by different drivers. Schmidt could also share the second cockpit. Wehrlein is mentioned to do 4 races. |
