Word from Grande Premio of Brazil is that former Super Aguri Formula 1 driver Takuma Sato has signed with KV Racing Technologies. While its not too surprising to hear that Sato has come over to IndyCar racing, it IS a bit of a surprise that he signed with KV. Here at OP, we were pretty much convinced that if he were to make it to the series, it would be with Gil de Ferran’s team. The article also goes on to say that Sato is the second driver for KV after Mario Moraes. Its good to hear that Moraes will return to KV. He improved significantly during his sophomore year, and he and the team showed that they could be extremely competitive. How will Sato fare? I’m sure he’ll fine on the road and street courses, but I don’t have much confidence in his ability to succeed immediately on the ovals. It will certainly be a learning season for him.
