Retired three-time World Superbike champion and MotoGP winner Troy Bayliss will be testing a V8 Supercar team in May and has been invited to race in the Audi Star Series in Europe.
“Cars are something that I love and I’ve been watching the V8s for many years,” said Bayliss in Brisbane yesterday.
Bayliss will not disclose the team he will test with until March 11, but he is now living on the Gold Coast so it is expected to be a South East Queensland team, possibly Triple Eight which he shares management links with.
Bayliss said his commitments with Ducati as the current world champion meant he would have several overseas duties this year, but he said it should leave him free for wildcard entries in V8 endurance events such as Bathurst or the Fujitsu development series.
