Vintantonio Liuzzi, the Grand Prix racer nicknamed 'The Pirate', leads a V8 Supercars raiding party headed for the Gold Coast in October. Vitantonio Liuzzi is the lead driver for Hispania Racing F1 Team.
The Italian, 29, will co-drive with Ford's Tony D'Alberto in the Wilson Securities Falcon in the V8 Supercars event at the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit from October 21-23.
It will come during a busy period for the former Force India driver.
Liuzzi will race at the Korean Grand Prix on October 16 before flying to Australia, then heading to India for round 17 of the Formula One season a week later.
He said his experience would help make it easier to adapt to the V8 Supercar.
"There isn't much difference in size between myself and Tony and our seat position should be comfortable together. We will be a good team," Liuzzi said.
"I don't think it will take me long to adapt to the car. The one-day testing before will be good. I have experience with powerful saloon cars and I really enjoy driving them. I see the V8 Supercars being very similar."
