F1: Alonso turns novice for endurance test with Toyota

Double Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso turned rookie for a day on Sunday when he tried out Toyota's world endurance championship car in a test that could lead to a Le Mans 24 Hours entry next year.

Testing an LMP1 (Le Mans top tier) car is always a nice thing for any racing driver because these cars are amazing to drive," Alonso said in a Toyota statement.

Alonso, who will be racing in Formula One's Abu Dhabi season-ender next weekend, posted a best time of one minute 43.013 which compared to a 1:42.38 set by Toyota regular Mike Conway.
