I believe he will possibly drive one of Michael Andretti's cars, but it is still (apparently) a bit up in the air.
Personally I think he's nucking futs, but I do think he's capable, despite nil experience.
I'll always be an Alonso 'Fan', but I really do not see why this.
Driving at Le Mans would be more sensible, driving at Monaco would be the right decision.
:encouragement:

It was confirmed with the announced that he'll be driving for Andretti Motorsports...
And it's too bad that Alesi had that **** Judd/Lotus engine when he ran it....

Guess he wants to drive a competitive and reliable car.... :mixed-smiley-010:

Rumours about McLaren stepping into Indycar with their own team and Le Mans in the near future are already buzzing around.

"Guess he wants to drive a competitive and reliable car"

After watching Long Beach I'd be suggesting he drives a non-Andretti car!

That was unfortunate as I was pulling for Rossi....

Bernie stated that he wouldn't have let Alonso make this move....

Glad you're gone Bernie!
