Whilst some drivers in the Australian V8 Supercar Series may have a relatively quiet time of it now the season has finished for 2004, Marcos Ambrose has a fair amount on his calendar before the 2005 season kicks off at the non-championship Australian Grand Prix round.

In his personal life, Ambrose will be getting married to his long tern partner, Sonja, in January whilst that same month he'll be donning his race suit in American as he takes part in the Rolex 24 at the Daytona International Raceway.

“I'm doing the Daytona 24 hr next year in a GTP Porsche,” Ambrose told Crash.net Radio on his title-winning weekend at Eastern Creek. “That'll be a bit of a fun thing, we've got four Aussie mates, we're going over and we're going to have a bash and see how that goes.”

Ambrose is partnered on the event by Craig Baird, Paul Morris and John Teulan, the Rolex being the first major track event of the year and taking place on

So, anything else overseas for the newly crowned champion? “I'll keep my eyes and ears open, but right now I'm dedicated to this category and I'm dedicated to the Australian V8 Supercars, because it is a truly competitive and difficult series to compete in.”
