It was a more tongue in cheeky response that if Melbourne gets a sniff of Sydney trying to get another international event, they come in and steel it.
Performance differences aside, the 2 on the same bill wouldn't work.
On the other hand, why doesn't Adelaide or Perth have a crack. Perth might get some legs on it, given the Penske business interest over there, so you never know. I would even consider running them at Townsville, just for the shear entertainment factor of that track, given a some decent corners for overtaking.
Whilst the east coast has many time difference benefit of broadcasting back to the states, sometimes you got to think outside the box....
