Lowndes happy to be a rookie for Le Mans

Supercars legend Craig Lowndes has some bucket-list races he wants to tick off and won't take umbrage at being designated a rookie if he gets a start in the famous Le Mans 24-hour event..

The 44-year-old three-time Supercars champion and seven-time Bathurst 1000 winner finished as a fulltime Supercars driver at the end of last year, but will still do the enduro events in 2019.

He's got the Bathurst 12-hour race in February and will be involved in media coverage of Supercars.

His enduring popularity was underlined in December when he was named ABC Sports Personality of the Year.
