Jacques Villeneuve will be back behind the wheel next week when the F1 circus heads to Bahrain, but he won't be competing in the grand prix. Instead, Villeneuve will be piloting a stock car in the Speedcar Series race that will 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.
