I know the team very well from the 2011 season, and the Nissan GT3 I will be racing with is based on the GT1 model I won the championship with, so I believe there is huge potential. The car looks good to me and clearly has the potential to do well in the championship, so I'm really optimistic. »

I know JRM and Nismo have worked hard to get the best out of the Nissan GT-R GT3 and I think we will show it this year. I can't wait to get back on the circuit and meet the rest of the field. »
