Fernando Alonso completes IndyCar test

Fernando Alonso took part in an IndyCar test at Barber Motorsports Park on Wednesday as he weighs up whether to commit to the American racing series full-time next season.

Alonso raced at the Indy 500 last year and has confirmed he will quit Formula One at the end of this year to pursue other goals in motorsport. He is already committed to the World Endurance Championship's super season with Toyota, which runs until June next year, but is considering racing in IndyCar as well.

The test was Alonso's first taste of an IndyCar on a road circuit and the car was supplied by Andretti Autosport -- the same team that partnered with McLaren for Alonso's one-off entry to the 2017 Indy 500.
