24th February 2014, 22:27 at 10:27 pm #249711Oli PeacockParticipantSeb Loeb? He seems up for anything these days
24th February 2014, 22:45 at 10:45 pm #249715JackySteegParticipantKurt Busch maybe? He’s been interested in Indy for a couple of years now.
24th February 2014, 23:24 at 11:24 pm #249720Magnificent GeoffreyParticipantRalf Schumacher.
24th February 2014, 23:50 at 11:50 pm #249721cduk_mugelloParticipantI’m going with Mika Hakkinen (in my dreams) :D
25th February 2014, 0:11 at 12:11 am #249724CarlitoxParticipantKimi Raikkonen with a mustache so that Ferrari doesn’t find out
25th February 2014, 0:16 at 12:16 am #249725AtticusParticipantIt’ll almost certainly be Kurt Busch. I watched the Daytona 500 the other day and they in the booth talked about how close this thing really was for Kurt.
25th February 2014, 0:16 at 12:16 am #249726Keith CollantineKeymaster@Carlitox Oh I would love that. The flight from Monaco might be a stretch, though!
25th February 2014, 0:23 at 12:23 am #249727KeeleyObsessedParticipantI reckon it could be Seb Loeb. The only other major champion I can think of who’s expressed an interest in swithing disciplines is Valentino Rossi, but I can’t imagine that…
25th February 2014, 0:41 at 12:41 am #249728SPParticipantI’m not sure Chevrolet would want Busch driving for a Honda team in Indycar. More likely to be a Honda sportscar guy.
25th February 2014, 1:35 at 1:35 am #249730Sensord4notbeingafanboiParticipantDario Franchitti.
25th February 2014, 2:34 at 2:34 am #249731JackySteegParticipant@jb001 I’d be very surprised if Chevrolet blocked Kurt from racing in Indy. If such exclusive deals were the norm, we wouldn’t see Chevrolet’s top IndyCar team, Penske, using rival Ford cars in NASCAR. Other than time constraints, I can’t see any real obstacle for Kurt Busch to race in both the Indy 500 and the Coke 600.
25th February 2014, 3:01 at 3:01 am #249732Iestyn DaviesParticipantThe return of Dario Franchitti would be an interesting outcome.. but the Kurt Busch one sounds interesting. Is he one of the NASCAR guys that is quite interested in single seaters? I’m also thinking of Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon.
25th February 2014, 3:30 at 3:30 am #249733R.J. O’ConnellParticipant25th February 2014, 5:31 at 5:31 am #249735GeeMacParticipantI was kinda hoping it was Loeb, I enjoy seeing how he does in other formulae. It’ll be interesting to see how JV does though, a lot has changed since 1995…
