Buy tickets<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty cool opportunity. I\u2019m obviously really excited to get back to IMSA. It\u2019s such a cool championship, it\u2019s such a cool track. Hopefully we\u2019ll have a good result.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year, Evans is competing full-time in GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS with Arise with a part-time Supercars co-drive at Walkinshaw TWG Racing.<\/p>\n
With fingers in both pies, the 29-year-old is open to racing full-time in IMSA or Supercars if the opportunity presents itself.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love the championship, I love how they go racing over there,\u201d Evans said of IMSA.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s definitely something that I wouldn\u2019t say no to.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Supercars thing is still on the radar, but with a heavy focus on GT racing I\u2019m really enjoying it and there are obviously plenty of opportunities worldwide.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully I can do a good enough job with this team and at least get in front of a few people while I\u2019m over there and hopefully something comes of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really enjoying my racing this year. If the opportunity to re-enter Supercars full-time came about, I would have to look at how that looks and the forecast for the years following, rather than just short-term.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that I\u2019ve been and done it, I don\u2019t want to go there and not be in a competitive car because it turns something that you enjoy and love into more of a chore and it\u2019s frustrating at times.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there\u2019s light at the end of the tunnel, then sure, I\u2019d love to be full-time in Supercars \u2013 but at the same time, if I can continue to travel the world and race pretty cool cars with some great teams and still come back and do the enduros maybe I\u2019d continue to focus on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
