	10.02.2011 *BRIAN ON A HIGHWAY TO V8 HEAVEN* AC/DC's lead singer Brian Johnson is currently discussing the possibility of appearing on Australia’s V8 Supercar series. Brian stated “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. It's going to be quite a year. My season will start in Florida, where I live, and with a bit of luck it could end up in a V8 supercar Down Under. The first race is at the Palm Beach Raceway. I’m going to race the Royale RP4, which is a wonderful British sports racer. It was built in 1971 but it’s still very competitive today. The plan is to spend the summer in Europe for some racing there and then I’d love to bring it down to some of the Australian vintage racing events. Hopefully we’ll get to the Goodwood Revival, Silverstone, we’re trying to get into Donington, and Classic LeMans. More Info at: Walcha News
