Andre Heimgartner says he was "really happy" with second in Sunday's New Zealand Grand Prix ahead of a fourth Supercars campaign with Kelly Grove Racing.
It was a topsy turvy weekend for Heimgartner, who rose from eighth on the grid to the podium for the grand prix.
The 25-year-old failed to finish Race 2 earlier on Sunday following an incident with Brendon Leitch.
Heimgartner clashed with four-time Bathurst 1000 winner Greg Murphy earlier in Race 2, before the Leitch contact at the Turn 2 hairpin ended his hopes.
