IndyCar: Sebastien Bourdais close to a Dale Coyne Racing deal

By ,

The four-time Champ Car champion continues to test for Dale Coyne Racing and looks increasingly likely to go ahead for a return.

After a first try-out at Sebring last month, Sebastien Bourdais returned to the Florida track for a private test this week with Dale Coyne Racing.

The French driver has now been entered for the official pre-season group test at Barber Motorsports Park next week.

Sebastien Bourdais said last month, after his first test with the team: "I really believe in what Dale is doing with his team and it can be a great workable opportunity for both of us this year."

To fit around his Peugeot LMP1 commitments, the Frenchman has been linked to a road course-only programme with Dale Coyne Racing.
