he's testing with KV. I'd love to see this http://formula-one.speedtv.com/article/f1-rubens-barrichello-sets-indycar-test-in-florida/
He's getting closer to a deal. Working on sponsors for money and on his wife to let him drive ovals. Guess he never expected that promise would ever be called into question. Oops!
I can't believe it! I am so excited I can barely see straight. I now have a chance to meet the guy I have been getting up in the middle of the night to watch race. Now I can get to watch him racing three times this year. Likely Detroit, Mid-Ohio, and Baltimore. I AM STOKED!!!! Go Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuubhinooooooooooooooo!!!
You should come and see him do Indy. He's running the full schedule. Here's a short video of him testing the new car, [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS8OhN68sic&feature=player_embedded[/ame]
Confirmed! http://kvracingtechnology.homestead.com/2011/2K11_press_030112.html SĀO PAULO, BRAZIL MARCH 1, 2012 -- KV Racing Technology announced today that Formula One legend Rubens Barrichello and IZOD IndyCar superstar Tony Kanaan, who often refer to themselves as brothers, will both contest the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series season for the team.
I want to, but my main goal is to meet him, and INDY will be the most UNlikely place to do so. I have been to and worked at a 500 race back when I was in the industry, and saw him race there at every F1 race (we attended every one) but I will give it a shot. He will bring a HUGE Brazilian and worldwide following to Indycar racing. I have been telling my friends and family that Indycar racing has been FAR more fun to watch than F1 the last few years...now many others will find that out as well. I still like and follow F1 closely, but INDYcar racing is more fun to watch from a racing perspective and now my favorite driver in the world is in the series...SWEET! MB
I go to the 500 every year and have since '96. The day before the race they have an autograph session that is MANDATORY for the drivers. If you go and get in his line you'll meet him. I've met TK, Dario, Helio, Wheldon, Marco, Graham and on and on and have plenty of autographs and pictures. A quick example is my wife meeting Dan Wheldon last year. We were huge fans of his and his death really hit us both very hard, Image Unavailable, Please Login
Copy...I got to meet Wheldon, Michael, Marco, and Helio (had the two Andrettis and Helio sign the American and Brazilian Flag on either side of my helmet (since I have stopped racing now). Maybe I will try Indy and get up at 0300 and get in line. MB This was before the signatures... I have to get RB to sign it!!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

That's awesome news! I'm going into the 2012 season with a fresh perspective--I want IRL to thrive and it's good to see the races won't be hidden away on Versus.
