Villeneuve to V8 Supercars, hopefully

And right on cue, Jacques Villeneuve chimes in with his next big idea: Australian V8 Supercars.

Sure F1โ€ฒs 13th team didnโ€™t workout and neither has NASCAR, but why not V8 supercars: theyโ€™re fast, theyโ€™re fun, and well they have yet to ignore, disregard, or humiliate JV. Sure, I poke. Itโ€™s what we do here at F1B, but I could see V8s as a good home for the former world driver champion and hopeful someone out there gives him a real shot. Itโ€™s been a long time since heโ€™s been behind the wheel of a car and heโ€™s no spring chicken as they say.

Although I must admit, I loved that The Daily Telegraph said that JV was at a bit of a โ€œcareer crossroads.โ€ At 39 years old, Iโ€™d say thatโ€™s the understatement of the year.

But right on to the Canadian on the eve of his first V8 race:Give it a go, move the family to Australia, and enjoy the ride. It has to be better than the F1 circus.
