[Saba Sports News] After leaving F1, Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo’s next move remains unclear. The Australian Supercars Championship hopes to attract Ricciardo to participate; this event is headquartered in Australia and New Zealand and is part of the FIA’s touring car series. Shawn Howard, CEO of the Australian Supercars Championship, stated that every fan would welcome Ricciardo with open arms as he is an incredible driver. Every fan wants to see Ricciardo racing a supercar in Perth at a new street race; it would be something very special and wonderful. At an appropriate time, senior officials from the Australian Supercars Championship will contact Ricciardo and his agent. Clearly, after leaving F1, Ricciardo has many things to do, and we respect that; however, we still hope he can race in his hometown’s supercar event. Currently, Ricciardo has not responded regarding his participation in the Australian Supercars Championship.
