The day’s finally come, Friday when you get to get in the car and practice. We get two forty-minute practices today and I'm really looking forward to getting in the Custom Plates Supercar.
Phillip Island's an awesome track; it's a world class track, all the corners are so fast and you know that’s why we love racing. We love going fast.
Being at Phillip Island, you'll be able to see the ocean as you go down the main straight. I'm looking forward to it.
For me it's a new car, I've never driven it before so I'm going to have to go out there and just build up to it. Otherwise if I go up there too hot I'll end up off the track and the session will be over, it's important for me to go up there and build up to it and hopefully at the end have some good speed.
We've just had practice one and good start to the weekend, we've ended up quickest after that. It's always a tricky session practice one because there's not much grip on the track and you don't really know what you've got in the car but to end up quickest at the end of the session was a good start.
We're about to head out for qualifying, it's a 20 minute session. All the cars are int he session at the same time and it determines the grid for race one so we want to be right up the front.
So we're about to head out for race one, as you can hear all the cars are getting warmed up, it's a 16 lap race, we're starting 13th on the grid which isn't ideal. Right in the middle of the pack so we got a bit of fighting to do but I'm looking forward to it.
starting on poleHere we are on the final day here on Sunday in Phillip Island, just a bout to head in to race 2 starting 9th and hopefully we can move forward
We're about to head out for the last race of the weekend, this is the one that everyone wants to win. We've saved our best set of tires for this race so hopefully we can move forward and fight with the guys up the front. We'll be starting tenth and hopefully we can get a bit higher.
I've had an awesome weekend here at Phillip Island, I have to thank Custom Plates Victoria for coming on board and giving me the opportunity to race here, I have to thank Eggleston Motorsport also for running the car. We've managed to move up 2 spots up the championship from 7th to 5th and by the end of the weekend I really got the thing sorted.
