According to reports, veteran IndyCar driver Tony Kanaan will join the Target Chip Ganassi squad for the 2014 season and drive alongside Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon and Charlie Kimball.
Although the deal has not been signed yet, we believe that the 2013 Indianapolis 500 champion will be announced shortly as the new member of the four-entry Ganassi team.
Kanaan has been previously associated with KV Racing Technology for the past three years and with Andretti Green Racing/Andretti Autosport (where he won the 2004 IndyCar championship) before that.
Some weeks ago, the Brazilian had contacts with the Sprint Cup Joe Gibbs Racing team but, has it was the case with other IndyCar teams, he would have had to bring a budget to have a drive.
An official announcement could be made shortly although all parties involved have refused so far to confirm the reports.
From press release
The 2014 World Rally Championship calendar has been revealed for the first time.
The 13-round championship was signed-off by motor sport's governing body at a meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Dubrovnik, Croatia today.
Like this year, the 2014 season kicks off in mid January with Rallye Monte Carlo and finishes with the Rally of Great Britain in November.
There has been one event substitution; with Rally Poland - which also includes a day of competition in bordering Lithuania - taking the place of the Acropolis Rally of Greece.
The finish date given is the Sunday of the rally weekend. Itineraries are however subject to final confirmation by event organisers.
