IRL champ schedules BAR test
Kanaan to drive F1 car in January

(GMM -- Dec.9) IRL champion Tony Kanaan will test a BAR-Honda early next year.

Earlier, the Brazilian said the run - to be staged in January, we can reveal - was a 'gift' from US employer Andretti-Green and BAR's common Japanese engine partner.

He added: ''It's a childhood dream.''

Kanaan watched the F1 action in Sao Paulo in late October, and countryman Rubens Barrichello said he was 'good enough' to one day compete in grands prix.

''He is able to turn both ways -- not just left,'' the Ferrari driver insisted.
