Kind of a cool idea, apparently they want to prove their drivers are the best. But it would be hilarious if they had 5 drivers from other racing forms that could beat their drivers and the idea backfired.

It's a shame MotoGP wasn't paying out in '06 when Troy Bayliss (from WSBK) came in and won the last race of the year at Valencia.

Scott Speed's tweet about this:

Does a bear shit in the woods? RT @Messick2: Any chance we will see @scottspeed go for the $5 million Indy challenge?

It'll be interesting to see who shows up trying to get that money. Don't think we'll see any current F1 guys but other than that I'm sure there'll be quite the cast of people going for it.

Haha I know right. However, rubbing Livio Suppo's face it was probably reward enough.

It'll be interesting to see them mix it up a bit. I'm all for drivers driving different cars. In my opinion, a real racecar driver will try anything that has 4 wheels if given the chance.
