Troy Bayliss

four-wheeled world in the shape of V8 Supercars.
The V8s are big in Australia. Large, fast cars that deliver consistently close racing and thrills by the chassis-load - and Troy fancies some of it.
It all depends on whether he can find a competitive ride with the right team and the right manufacturer, but if he can't then the V8 series is daft

Money talks in V8s....however, if Troy is half as good on four as he was on two...no contest!! I wish him well after shaking his hand recently

During the WSBK coverage on Sunday evening (what a circuit by the way) it was mentioned that Bayliss will run only if the money is correct.

This is going to need to be a well supported and run operation to get him in the car.

go Troy!!! although i hope like your bike colours for most of your career (red) the car you drive is the same.

Would love him to get involved. A true Aussie legend on 2 wheels. I'm sure he's talented enough to be competitive on 4.

I'd hope he is as good in cars as the late Gregg Hansford was:

As for the last motorcycle racer to move to V8's the less said the better...

I hope your not refering to Mr. 100% WG... with 3 Supercar podiums including 2 at Bathurst, a Bathurst Pole and a Supercar round win his record is a lot better than many 4 wheel specialist before him and since. On top of this there where wins in the Japenese GT championship.

Not too shabby although I am sure the Captain Koas fans will say otherwise

i think it was Daryl Beattie In 2002 he took up V8 Supercar racing in Imrie Motor Sport's Holden Commodore VX

Well-supported team
Scoop for Ford
A talented team mate to help the transition
In need of a sponsor...perhaps, but not necessarily

I was initially thinking Kevin Schwantz before seeing the Darryl Beattie post.
