8:30am – DUTTO DOWNLOAD –
“Phillip Island, with it picturesque setting, can’t help but be one of the teams favourite tracks. This combined with its fast flowing corners makes it a challenge for any team, it can be very punishing if you are a little bit wrong on setup or preparation. Everyone at Triple Eight is refreshed after having worked hard to turn around the cars while in Tasmania, this enabled the whole team to have the full Easter four day long weekend, which is far from the norm, and unfortunately not something that all the teams up and down pitlane got to enjoy this year. We know how to make our cars go fast around the Island, we will be working hard to make sure it is fast enough.”
