The Return of Kat Legge?

I saw a blurb in one of Robin Miller's Mailbag posts about Kat Legge attending the St. Pete race. I went to her new and improved website (that's now a blog) and she is openly talking about coming back to the US and wanting to race in Indycar. I remember seeing her at the Houston Grand Prix in person and watching her in the old CCWS starting with KV and then moving down to Coyne until it folded. She raced DTM in Germany for three seasons but was always a back marker and never did a lot.

My question: Is there a reason to think she will get a ride this year? She seems to think so. Does she come with sponsorship of any kind? I doubt she's associated with Audi anymore.

I always liked Kat. She had a good attitude and seemed to have good race instincts. I would be happy to see her in the field with Simona and you know who.

Anyone know anything else?

In fairness in DTM she was in the worst team with a 2 year old car so was never going to be a front runner. She's got talent but I don't know if she has any money to bring.

Would be good to have her back in the field, as I think she's a better driver than results tend to suggest, for the reasons given above. I still like her for her most British of reactions to THAT crash :)

"I still have all my bits and pieces." Great quote from a cool customer. I hope she returns too.

When you've got Bourdais in the series, and the best he can get is part time with Coyne, you know there aren't many seats available. Speaking of Seabass, anyone know if he's got any opportunities for Indy?

I believe he'll be busy with Peugeot getting ready for Le Mans at that time.

I have been quite impressed with Kat in Atlantics and Champ Car, but have to say that she really didn't show anything at all in the DTM over the past three seasons with a best finish of 12th in a field not exceeding 20 drivers. Of course she didn't have the best car, but others in similar equipment did better than her.

She has a combined one oval race in her carrer. I don't think that would translate well to IndyCar.

If I remember, she did quite well in that race. So...unless someone has an extensive oval resume, they shouldn't even consider trying it?
