Daniel Ricciardo given green light to make Bathurst 1000 debut

Formula One ace Daniel Ricciardo could be set to take his talents to Mount Panorama and make a stunning Bathurst 1000 debut.

Earlier this month, the Australian announced he would be leaving Renault at the end of 2020, after just two seasons, to join McLaren.

His soon-to-be team boss Zak Brown, who in 2018 bought a stake in Supercars team Walkinshaw Andretti United, has already been looking into different racing avenues in which the 30-year-old can be deployed.

"I'd love to see them do it. I think they'd both love to do it," Brown told Fox Sports when asked if Ricciardo and teammate Lando Norris could possibly partner for an entry in Australia's great race.
