Norris enters Wednesday’s Australian Supercars iRace

Lando Norris will continue to extend his racing repertoire during the hiatus by entering this week’s Australian Supercars event on iracing.

“There’s a lot of very fast drivers in it, it’s going to be very tough, very competitive,” said Norris. “But I’ve watched pretty much all of the race so far in the championship and it looks a lot of fun.”

As well as participating in Formula 1’s official Virtual Grand Prix series, Norris entered IndyCar’s iRacing Challenge and won on his debut on the Circuit of the Americas. He was on course to win Saturday’s race on Indianapolis as well before being involved in a controversial challenge with Simon Pagenaud, who declared he would “take Lando out”. The race was won by Australian Supercars driver Scott McLaughlin.

Max Verstappen has already competed in the Australian Supercars All-Star Series, and acquitted himself well in the races held on Silverstone.

Wednesday’s event was originally scheduled to include the Nurburgring as well as Spa, before the organisers elected to use only the Belgian track.
