AC/DC Frontman To Sign Up For Supercars

Brian Johnson may race in Australian V8 Supercars

Published 9th Feb 2011

The car mad frontman revealed that he was in talks with V8 organisers to get behind the wheel for an unspecified race at some point in the future.

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."

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."

In other AC/DC news, a new photobook has been released from the band's recent Black Ice World Tour.

The book has been put together by fans and traces the band's Black Ice tour from their very first "private" gig in Wilkes-Barre, USA in 2008 to the grand finale in Bilbao, Spain 20 months later.
