The supercars ace has been toying with an appearance in the popular Trans Am series for some time, following a test in Tim Shaw\u2019s Camaro at Queensland Raceway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He was initially entered for the Bathurst round of the Trans Am series in April but at the last minute had to withdraw due to COVID-19.
