Gil de Ferran is looking into possible expanding his team into Indy Cars. De Ferran Motorsports currently runs an Acura LMP-1 class Acura in the American LeMans Series has stated that he is investigating a possible expansion of his organization into other series in the future.
     "We are investigating growing into IndyCars," said the former Indianapolis 500 winner and 2 time Champ Car title holder. "It would make sense, because having two programs would bring economies of scale. It would also help us grow as a team in every respect.  We are having a serious look at it, but we would only do it if it makes sense for us and we could put a strong team together."
     No timescale has been set but word is that there is series work being done to possible have a car entered into this year’s Indy.
     De Ferran currently is one of the drivers of his LMP-1 but has stated he will not drive for any potential team. "I am not looking to drive an Indycar again," he said.
