    That sounds like a bit of an obscure choice for the likes of Eric Bana , maybe he's a fan and this is his passion project . He could well turn out something decent .

    I remember seeing him on top gear years ago and it turns out he’s quite a respected racing driver who races classic cars in his spare time and a biker to boot.

    Everyone's a fan. I'm yet to meet a rider who isn't.
    I had a tour of the Ducati factory some years ago and they had his TT winning 900ss (or 1 of the many bikes that are claimed to be) but it wasn't in the racing hall of fame with bikes ridden by mere mortals like Casey Stoner, Carl Fogarty or Troy Baylis. It had it's own room.
    To Ducati, Hailwood is a God and his TT win pulled the company back from the brink of bankruptcy.
    Bana's involvement also has the blessings of his widow too which is hopefully a good sign.
