Kyle Busch says he’s working on a test session after this season to drive a Formula One car in Japan for Toyota. Viewed by many in the garage as the sport’s most talented driver, it’s not a stretch that he might be good in such a car but at age 23 he’ll be too old for F1 soon. Still, the idea of Busch in an F1 car is interesting.
Busch said part of that test session would include take a Cup car to Japan for an exhibition drive. “Just kind of run around there at either Twin Ring or something like that and show them what the Cup cars are like and try to get in a Formula One car, too.’’
“We’ll see how good I test first. I wouldn’t mind it. If I’m good at it, then I’ll give it a shot and try it,’’ he said. “It seems that their racing isn’t all that great. They kind of get stuck in line and the aero takes over everything and Toyota is not necessarily one of those companies at the moment that’s like Ferrari or that’s like McLaren or what Renault was a couple of years ago.’’
