AC/DC Singer In Talks To Drive V8 Supercar

AC/DC singer and noted car nut Brian Johnson may hit the track in a V8 Supercar.

Their website has revealed that Johnson is currently in talks with the organisers of the V8 Supercar Series to get behind the wheel.

He told Walcha News: “Late last year we were talking about race series I could do. Australian V8 Supercars came up and I’d love to have a shot in one of them.”

Johnson is well known as an automotive enthusiast. He appeared on Top Gear in 2009 and scored the second-fastest celebrity lap.

In the interview with Walcha News he revealed that he had driven Nascar at Indianapolis.

“I just loved it. Like Nascar, V8 Supercars have a lot of power there and all the cars are pretty equal so that’s what makes it so exciting to watch,” he said. “And with the band’s standing in Australia, it’s nice to know there might be a few people who might come along to see it.”
