Famous name joins Supercars Eseries grid

Jack Doohan

Jack Doohan, the son of Moto GP legend Mick Doohan and an international open-wheel racing rising star, has today been confirmed as the latest wildcard in the BP Supercars All Stars Eseries.

Doohan will race in a special #33 Red Bull Holden Commodore in the fifth round of the Eseries next Wednesday night.

The Gold Coaster said he’s looking forward to testing himself in a virtual Supercar against some of the legends of the sport.

“I’m really looking forward to joining the Red Bull Holden team for the night. The Race is at Spa which is one of my favorite circuits and a new challenge driving a V8 Supercar so it’s going to be an awesome night," Doohan said.

“I’ve done quite a bit of iRacing with Shane (van Gisbergen) just in hosted online races, it’s been great to be able race with him and obviously he will be really quick in the Eseries like he is in all our online races, so hopefully I can get in some practice and get up to speed.

“Previously at Spa I finished on the podium in Euroformula last year which was quite a good weekend, the long straights and the tight Sector 2 makes for some great racing and it’s one of my favorite tracks."

Doohan is this year continuing the same path taken by the likes of Daniel Ricciardo, Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen to a Formula 1 career.
