According to reports, after announcing that it would not be back in the GP2 series in 2013, Scuderia Coloni could be looking at the IZOD IndyCar Series in its future plans.
The Italian squad has already confirmed its imminent departure from GP2 without explaining the reason behind the sudden decision although serious disagreements between team principal Paolo Coloni and the series organisers are to blame.
After being founded to run F3 and F300 championships, the founder, Enzo Coloni, tried his luck in Formula One in 1987. After staying for more than 5 unsuccessful seasons, the team decided to go back tom its original roots and run in a variety of national championships in Italy.
The team would make a comeback into International F3000, later renamed the GP2 category. Now, Paolo Coloni is hoping to use his network of talented and funded European drivers to expand Scuderia Coloni into the North American market.
"I'm open to many options, but I can't deny that bringing our name to race on the same field as a great family of American motorsport like the Andrettis, as well as competitive teams as Penske and Rahal Letterman [Lanigan], would be really motivating for us."
