Even before Casey Stoner officially retired from MotoGP racing at the end of the 2012 season, his name was linked to race for Triple Eight Racing in in the Dunlop series in 2013.
Both parties denied the allegations that they already had a deal in place, but today the two-time MotoGP World Champion is behind the wheel of Jamie Whincup’s two-time championship car, for a test at the Queensland Raceway.
Stoner has yet to announce if he’s going Supercar racing, but this test under the guidance of driver Craig Lowndes and team manager Adrian Burgess, may persuade the Australian to make a final decision on undertaking a new career, even if he previously said he’d like to chill out a couple of years and watch his daughter Ally grow.

We’re going through a range of spring changes, bar adjustments and letting him feel what a real V8 Supercar is like with a proper engine.
We haven’t turned it into a big 25 people ‘super test’.
It’s a DVS (Development Series) style test, keeping it realistic for him.
”Burgess admitted that the test is to allow Stoner to make a ‘balanced, educated assessment of where he’s at’ so he can decide if he wants to take up the commitment.
