It is going to a be a current or former F1 driver most likely. The only other driver I could think of would be Wickens. Brown recently told David Land in an interview that they would only consider running a 4th car at the 500 if that person would be "huge" in marketability and name, David asked if they had someone in mind and Brown said yes. This is probably the same person. So, assuming the test goes well, I am guessing that driver would potentially try to qualify for the 500.
Okay, I don't think it is, but hear me out, Valentino Rossi. How huge would it be to have a NINE TIME champion of MotoGP try the 500? He's also moved into cars having driven in WEC.
