With no Nissans on the grid in 2020, the Swiss fan favourite is leaving it up to an online poll to decide whether her Harvey Norman-backed entry will be a virtual Ford Mustang or Holden Commodore in next week’s online race at Mount Panorama.De Silvestro, who will race from her home in Zurich, says she’s looking forward to being back in the virtual Supercars paddock.

“I’m excited. I enjoyed every minute in Supercars and to return for the Eseries will be a lot of fun.

“I’ve been keeping myself busy with online racing for Porsche in the virtual Mobil 1 Supercup over the past few weeks, so I’m confident.

“I’m looking forward to seeing which way fans go on the vote. I know how passionate Supercars fans are about their teams so over the 48 hours I’ll let them decide.”
