Probably PK would just run 1 car, or bring in a paying substitute. They may not have the infrastructure to run 2 cars until July anyway.

I was never impressed with Salo before, but he did a great job with Toyota...and hated every minuite of it.

I'd love to see Salo in CART, and it of course means one more car, which is great

Salo is contracted with Audi UK for Sebring (no conflict) and Le Mans (conflicts with Brands Hatch and Laguna Seca).
Don't know how that effects things, since as Boots points out, PK wont have the infrastructure for a second car until July timeframe. Would be interesting to see a real F1 racer in CART again. Could spice things up a bit. |

Salo is a good driver, would be a good addition to the series. There are Flying Finns everywhere, there's one lacking in CART!

Wouldn't be a stretch to see him at Long Beach. There is a month between St. Pete, and Montery, and then three more weeks until Long Beach. Ample time to get a second car going.

There's always one guy who could take over while Salo does the Really Big Race: Memo "Will Work For Food" Gidley.
I'd like to see Salo take the PK drive although I don't know anything about his personality with the fans. |

Gidley and Papis will end up fist-fighting over one-offs!
