“That’s probably one of the bigger days I’ve had in a car, on a track, but it was actually really good. I feel a lot better than I thought I would. The team has done a fantastic job with everything, the car, managing everything, the garage, really fast stops and all those things. So grateful they’ve got my back this weekend.”

“Super stoked to get two full races done, and that last one was pretty chaotic. The start was pretty close, we were in the middle there and it got dicey. I’ve learned a lot today about being in that field for a race, where to put the car and how to move around. It’s all going to help going into tomorrow then in to the Enduro rounds. Just working towards improving every time is a big thing, that’s my main thing.”

“We see Will and Broc doing a fantastic job, so there’s lots to learn there from those cars and what they’re doing over there. We’ll dig into it and have a look and take what we can from it all.”

“Tomorrow I’d love to qualify further up than mid pack, it makes your life a lot easier when you’re further up the grid. It’s just all so close and competitive. So my expectations probably don’t change it’s just all about getting a solid run in. On Friday we were in the top ten so that’s got to be the goal now. It’s just me getting up to speed.”
