Jacques Villeneuve Back Behind The Wheel
Jacques Villeneuve will be making his way back next week as F1 moves to Bahrain. He will be racing once again. Unfortuantely though he will not be competing in the Grand Prix. Instead he will be racing a stock car in the Speedcar Series race – which is to help support the main event.
We initially brought you news of the Speedcar Series when fellow Francophone former F1 driver Jean Alesi signed on to headline the series, which campaigns stock cars of all things at events across Asia. Although several retired F1 drivers compete in the series, Villeneuve is the only former world champion to line up.
Following the Bahrain event, JV will join the Speedcar grid the following week for the season finale in Dubai. The Canadian driver has fought hard to stay racing since retiring from Formula One, driving for Peugeot at Le Mans while trying his darnedest to break into NASCAR.
