Fernando Alonso is open to taking on a full-time sports car racing programme in t༒he United States in the future, but has stressed it is not part of his short-term plans.

Two-time Formula 1 world champion Alons🌊o made his final grand prix start in Abu Dhabi last November after opting to walk away from the series for 2019, instead c🃏hoosing to enter a handful of one-off races.

Alonso will race for Wayne Taylor Racing i🌠ꩵn the IMSA season-opener, the Rol🧸ex 24 at Daytona, later this month, and has also c🐓onfirmed an entry to the Indianapolis 500 alongside three FIA World Endurance Championship rounds.

The Spaniard has enjoyed his taste of IMSA thus far and would be open to a permanent programme in the future, but said he is currently happy cherry-picking events to put on his♑ schedule.

“It definitely is not close to a possibility, maybe not in the short term,” Alonso said last week ahead of the ♓‘Roar Before the 24’ test, .

“I have the same decision to make that I made last season for IndyCar, for the full championship or the Indy 500 only. So at the moment I♐ am more into single events and having a little rest and time at home after so many yღears of racing.

“But yeah, why not,🎐 in the medium or long term. To have the full championship is a possibility as we🌳ll.”

Alonso took part in his first on🎃-track running at Daytona last weekend alongside Kamui Kobayashi, Renger van der Zande and Jordan Taylor, whom he will share duties in the #10 Cadillac DPi-V.R in the 24-hour race at the end of January.
