Three-time World Superbike Champion, Troy Bayliss attended Queensland Raceway V8 Supercar pre-season test day to announce his four-wheel ambitions.
Bayliss retired from WSB at the end of 2008 after dominating the series and moved back to Australia and the Gold Coast at the beginning of the year in order to pursue a long-held passion to race in the V8 series.
Bayliss joined Whincup and Lowndes at Queensland Raceway on Wednesdy as the V8 teams tested their cars ahead of the season’s first race in Adelaide next Friday.
“I am really excited about this test,” Bayliss admitted, ”I have openly said for quite a while that I viewed V8 Supercars as the next step in my motorsport career and this is not something I am looking at trying once just to experience it, My long term goal is to compete in select Fujitsu races and shoot for an endurance seat in 2010.
