New Delhi: India's motorsport icon Narain Karthikeyan received an offer on Tuesday to drive for Jordan in the Formula One Grand Prix this season.
Karthikeyan said the offer 'looked good' and he was very much hopeful of making it to the top rung of the game this time around after having missed out on a chance last season.
"I can say I am 90 percent hopeful of making it this time," Karthikeyan told PTI. However, he did not reveal what figure had been quoted by Jordan, which has been taken over by the Midland group, owned by Russian tycoon Alex Shnaider.
"At the moment I cannot reveal how much my sponsors have been asked to shelve out but the Tatas, J K Tyre and Bharat Petroleum have come forward (in support). The process is on," said the ace driver.
YAY!!!
