Herbert to test IRL next week

ARROWS test driver Johnny Herbert is off to the United States this weekend for a test in the Indy Racing League and it is looking increasingly likely that the English driver will make a new career in the American series next year. Herbert has been in discussion with a number of CART teams but the declining interest in CART and the growth of IRL has convinced Herbert to look more seriously at that series.

Having won the Le Mans 24 Hours and a variety of Grands Prix, Herbert would like to add the Indianapolis 500 to his career victories.
