Kanaan excited by Nippon chance
Thursday, October 25th 2007, 11:03 GMT
Tony Kanaan is looking forward to making a one-off appearance in the Japanese Formula Nippon series at Suzuka next month.
The Brazilian, who finished third in this year's IndyCar Series, is expected to line up for one of the teams powered by Honda engines, although the team he will race with has not been confirmed.
"I am honoured to accept the invitation and look forward to the event," said Kanaan, who competed in the final two rounds of the American Le Mans Series once the IndyCar season had finished.
"To be part of the Formula Nippon series is a new challenge, and I'm very excited to get in the car. It's an awesome opportunity for me to try another car at another venue."
Kanaan won on his last visit to Japan, which was the IndyCar race at Motegi early in the season.
