Rahal to take on Kaffer?

German racer Pierre Kaffer is expected to sign up to be one of Bobby Rahal's drivers in CART next year.

German racer Pierre Kaffer is expected to sign up to be one of Bobby Rahal's drivers in CART next year. The 27-year-old from Bad Neuenahr has been out of mainstream open-wheeler racing in recent years because of lack of money and has been racing in the Team HP-Phoenix operation in the Porsche Supercup. Prior to that he was a frontrunner in German Formula 3, finishing third in 2000 and fourth in 2001. Kaffer will return to single-seaters this weekend in Macau as a driver with Colin Kolles's Superfund TME Racing.
