"I think they'd both love to do it," Brown told Supercars Sidetracked.

"I think people now know I'm a little bit different than most of the team bosses in F1 as I like to see our drivers go out and give it a go at Daytona or Le Mans, things of that nature.

"I think it'll just come down to schedule and whether they can fit it in the schedule.

"I'd love to see them do it there [in Bathurst]. Let's see. For sure, they'll get a go in my Holden."
