Firman heading for America?

Ralph Firman, out of work for 2004 following Jordan's announcement that it will be running Giorgio Pantano this year, is looking to a future in America. Firman says that his first choice would be to continue his career in open-wheelers in the United States but says that he is also interested in DTM if a good drive is available.

Firman has a relatively low profile in European racing having spent most of his time racing in Japan.

The opportunities in the United States may be somewhat limited given that there is a shortage of engines in the Indy Racing League at the moment but there may be possibilities in CART.
