Zanardi is in
Alex Zanardi has confirmed he will run in the European Touring Car Championship this season. The two-time Champ Car title winner, who lost both legs in a crash while competing in a CART race at the Eurospeedway Lausitz in September 2001, will race a BMW 320i for Roberto Ravaglia's BMW Italia team. Zanardi, who made his racing comeback with a one-off drive in the ETCC in October, said, "This hasn't been easy because there wasn't a plan for this, and it was practically born after my return at Monza.
"It has been done in a short space of time and a third car [at Ravaglia Motorsport] has been found for me.''

Biela will share the LMP car with fellow Audi works contractees Pierre Kaffer and Jamie Davies, who moves over from the Veloqx Ferrari team.
