IZOD IndyCar series' driver James Hinchcliffe will make his V8 Supercars Championship debut in October’s Armor All Gold Coast 600 in Surfers Paradise, Australia.
The Toronto native, who took over the GoDaddy.com Indy car from Danica Patrick this season has signed with Fujitsu Racing/GRM for the twin 300-kilometre races, where 28 international co-drivers from various racing backgrounds team with regular drivers from the V8 Supercars Championship.
GoDaddy.com will also become a supporting sponsor on the Fujitsu Racing/GRM Commodore for the Armor All Gold Coast 600 as well as a partner of the Queensland Government-backed event.
For Hinchcliffe, 25, this will mark his first time in a V8 Supercar.
However, Hinchcliffe is no newcomer to Australia, having competed for Team Canada in the A1 Grand Prix series at Eastern Creek in Sydney in 2007. He also has another Aussie link given his girlfriend, Kristen Dee is originally from Sydney.
