Herbert spotted at Michigan.
Under fire Jaguar Racing star Johnny Herbert was an interested spectator at last weekend's CART event at Michigan Speedway - and it was unlikely that he was just paying fellow Brit Dario Franchitti a return visit.
The ex-pat Scot tested for Jaguar at Silverstone last week, and is strongly tipped to replace Herbert at the Milton Keynes outfit for 2001. Herbert, in return, has intimated that he may turn his attentions to America and either CART of the Indy Racing League, in order to fulfil his dream of racing at Indianapolis.

Although the precise details of his trip remained a mystery, the three-time grand prix winner was spotted spending time with Franchitti's Team Green outfit, sparking rumours that he may be setting up a swap deal with the Scot. However, further rumours that Alex Zanardi's return to action may be with Team Green - and not Mo Nunn, as previously suggested - tend to scupper the theory, and Herbert was quick to deny that he had any firm plans for next season.
''I'm really only here to show my face, speak to a few people, and see what the interest is like,'' he told journalists.
