"It is a great opportunity for people in the Auckland and Waikato region because you have GT cars one weekend and Supercars the next - it is a pretty unique opportunity.
"I think they can co-exist. There is enough room.
"At the end of the day Supercars is still going to be the main show in town. Its level of professionalism, its presentation, its investment is significant.
"Whilst GT is growing and emerging it will never get to the fully professional level that Supercars is and the category owner Tony Quinn has already stated that.
"For me I enjoy driving different cars and I think there is an opportunity to complement each other."
Having been behind the wheel of his Holden Racing Team V8 last weekend on the Gold Coast Tander will have to get used to jumping from one extreme to the other over the next week.
"The cars are like chalk and cheese," he says. "Supercars are right hand drive, front engine, very low aero grip and very high horsepower whereas the GT car is left hand drive, rear engine, very high downforce and not as much horsepower.
"Whilst the GT car is probably quicker overall the top speed is nowhere near as quick as the Supercar.
"You need a very different driving technique. I enjoy that - driving a new car."
