It’s hard to forget and let slide into media oblivion someone like Troy Bayliss, who delighted motorcycle racing fans for so many years with his three World Superbike titles, his popularity and down to earth attitude and when he retired, left a void in more than one Ducatista heart.

So when we find something about what King Troy is up to we like to share with you.

After testing V8 Supercars with Paul Morris Motorsports, Kelly Racing and TeamVodafone, Bayliss will be finally getting a chance to race on four wheels in two V8 races. The Aussie champion will debut in this year’s L& H 500 and Super Cheap Auto Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercar endurance events at Phillip Island and Bathurst, alongside Dean Fiore in a Paul Morris Motorsports prepared Triple F Racing Commodore.

Troy Bayliss said:

“It has been a long time coming and now the deal has been put together. I am really excited to be making my debut in the V8 Supercar series. It’s going to be a huge challenge but it is something that I’ve longed to do for some time. It’s going to be a massive test for me especially at Bathurst, where my first priority will be to finish and then we’ll see where it may lead to for next year. I have watched Bathurst on the couch since I was a kid. I can’t believe I am actually going to be there driving the mountain.”
