He is going to drive both rally and track-racing next season also.If Räikkönen's plans succeed, then his racing program migth also include these famous track-races: Nascar's opening race Daytona 500, legendary formula-race Indianapolis 500 and the classic of endurance races; Le Mans 24 hours.
Räikkönen also wants to continue in WRC where he would drive only for a part of the season, mainly in races taking place in Europe.
Though Räikkönen recently visited Williams F1-factory in UK his comeback to F1 is still highly unlikely.
Räikkönen is however interested in driving one formula race with an IndyCar-car. One of his dreams is to take part in North America's most famous formula race Indianapolis 500, which takes place at the end of May. It remains to be seen if the Indy-start will happen next year already. It might not go well together with his Le Mans -plans.
Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 are USA's most famous car races. They are on oval tracks and Räikkönen already has oval-experience from last spring's Nascar-races.
Räikkönen is also very fascinated by Le Mans 24 hours that takes place in June. In August he was already testing Peugeot’s Le Mans -car on Aragon's track in Spain and he enjoyed that experience very much.
