Valtteri Bottas is he already looking for his post-F1 ? The Finn, who we see more and more “extroverted” in the paddocks and on social networks, will try a new experience: Supercars. The current pilot Alfa Romeo will drive the Holden VF Commodore V8 Supercar, winner of the Bathurst 1000 in 2016, during the Adelaide Motorsport Festival which will take place on Sunday March 26, a few days before the Australian Grand Prix.

Valtteri Bottas will be guided by Australian legend Craig Lowndes, seven-time Bathurst 1000 winner and three-time Supercars Championship winner. The Finn will be joined on the track by the Australian who will drive the Holden ZB Commodore, winner of the Adelaide 500 in 2022. Bottas will then drive an Alfa Romeo GTV Group A in the Heritage Touring Cars category.

Several Formula 1 single-seaters will also be on display during the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, with two Team Ferrari 156/85 from 1985, two Brabham BT58 Judds from 1989, a Brabham BT60B Judd from 1992, an Arrows A10B Megatron from 1988, a Larrousse Lola LC88 Cosworth from 1988, a Leyton House CG891 Judd from 1989 and an Arrows AX3 Hart from 2001.
