drivers should stay away from CARt until they reduce the ovals to like 1 race the indy 500
its too dangerous imo, and not worth the risk
ovals are a relic of the past century, at least for open wheel racingyou can't argue with results.

Apparently the Indy 500 might be on now so theat would mean three races not being done on ovals. I wouldworry for him if he went to the US not because he might crash, but because he might get caught up in someone else's. Generally F1 drivers have taken well to ovals. They might not win straight off but they get there pretty quick. Ie Zanardi, JPM, Blundell, etcForza Jules! Forza Michael!

Barrichello enjoying Sonoma test
Barrichello enjoying Sonoma test | Page 1 | IndyCar News | Feb 2012 | Crash.Net
"I like Infineon, it's a great track," said Barrichello, adding that it was "steeper and more demanding" than he'd expected. "It's like European tracks, such as Spa and Donnington. Here I know where to brake, but not where to turn in the blind corners."
But he admitted that he'd been hitting the limiter all morning and that "It takes laps to get used to the new car."
There's still no news on when and if Barrichello will be formally signing up for IndyCar, but no one was playing coy about the direction of travel anymore. "It's my wish and the team's wish, I think, so we're working on it," he said."I watch IndyCar all the time, so I'm very happy," he added, saying that the opportunity opening up in IndyCars was the positive on the other side of the negative of being ousted from F1.
A sponsorship announcement is possibility as soon as this week, Barrichello hinted. He also revealed that he would be testing again with the KV team at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama.May the forza be with you

Heh. I can see why he would hit the rev limiter often. IndyCar engine rev limit is about 6,000RPM below the F1 rev limit.

Good luck for him. I hope we don't hear any comments (from him) about pay drivers ruling in F1 since according to reports he brings a budget with him.
