Mark Webber, the only Australian formula one driver, has hosed down expectations he might reprise his career with a stint one day in the local V8 Supercars touring car series.

The 31-year-old, who currently drives for Red Bull Racing, spent the 10 or so days since the recent Singapore grand prix in his native country, which is preparing for its marquee motor racing event - the Bathurst endurance race - this weekend.

"I'm not that keen, to be honest," Webber told the local Herald Sun newspaper before heading to Fuji for the Japanese grand prix.

"Those cars are very, very different to F1 cars."
