Dont' recall him getting bagged re Bathurst but that may be my fading memory - any pro driver should be able to adapt and if you need any further evidence, look at Mr Lowndes in the McLaren at Bathurst earlier this year - hadn't driven an open wheeler of any kind in nearly 15 years but got straight into an F1 car, leaned on it hard from the get go and got very close to the time set by the car's regular driver.
