SVG secures Triple Eight’s 500th Supercars podium at Surfers Paradise

Broc Feeney – Car #88

“It’s been a pretty average day unfortunately. It started in qualifying and getting a few kerb strikes which was my fault. It was very hard to feel where I was at, and I kept getting those strikes. On a positive note, we would’ve been in the top ten which would have changed our day, but we weren’t and we’ll try again tomorrow. We were pretty equal with #97 in terms of pace in qualifying, but as I said, we kept triggering the kerb strikes and I was pretty disappointed to keep making those mistakes. Unfortunately we just didn’t have the pace in today’s race either. We’ll have a look at what Shane’s doing differently driving wise and have a look at a couple of differences. We went aggressive in the race, but unfortunately we didn’t have the pace, but we’ll try again tomorrow.”

Shane van Gisbergen – Car #97

“I suppose from the driver’s seat, today was pretty dull until the last stint. We were sort of racing around in clear air and then I came out behind Cam (Waters) and thought there was a chance – I didn’t realise how close we were. I tried to cruise at the start and then drove up to him slowly, but it was a cool last couple of laps. It was a shame I ran out of time or left my run too late, but it was a fun battle. The aim tomorrow is to qualify a little better and get a better start. Dropping to fifth at the start today put me back a bit, but we weren’t very fast at the start and I really had nothing. I need to be better earlier in the race tomorrow and hopefully we can get some good points again.”
