Sydney SuperNight: Practice 1 Results
Will Brown – Car #87
Practice 1 – 4th (1:30.831)
“I feel like we’re in the mix. Obviously, being in the top five is great after Practice 1 and although I don’t feel like we maximised it at the end there, I felt like we made a lot of changes throughout the session. That was good to run through a big test plan. An hour and a half is actually a long time on the track, but it goes by very quickly. So, great to make as many changes as we can, but hopefully we have a good day in qualifying tomorrow. We’ve got a few things we need to look at overnight and see what we can take into qualifying tomorrow. With a lot of the tracks this year, it’s about how well you can qualify. But also around here there’s a lot of tyre degradation, and we saw that throughout people’s race runs. You’ve got to do a really good job with your race car to make sure that you can hold on for as long as you can on those tyres. I always love racing under the lights here. Hopefully, all the fans come out tomorrow – it’s actually quite nice here right now, so hopefully the weather’s good tomorrow afternoon and everyone can enjoy it.”

Practice 1 – 10th (1:31.007)
“The first half of the session I thought was really good. I felt like we got through our test program pretty well. We made a lot of changes and felt pretty competitive. But we put another set of tyres on and really struggled, however when we went to the race allocation, it was a bit better. So, a bit of a mix in that mid-to-end part. I think we’re somewhat in the mix. We need to have a look at the first half of the session and then our green run at the end. It’s just analysing everything tonight. We made a lot of changes today so it’s just about figuring out what we thought was best and going forward tomorrow. But we’ve got a competitive car, we just need to do some fine-tuning from here. It’s good to be under the lights again, they do such a good job at lighting this track up that it doesn’t really feel too dark out there. But obviously you got things lighting up in your car that don’t normally light up, which is pretty cool. And to see some flames spitting and all that stuff, it’s cool.”
