QUOTESWill Brown Driver, HMO Customer Racing Hyundai “I had a ball out there today,” said Will Brown. “The racing was so close, I really didn’t expect it to be so close this weekend, I thought it would be a bit more spread out. Everyone drove so well and so clean. “Race 2 was awesome with so many passes and then Race 3 the real MVP goes to Andre Heimgartner, he made a lot of really good passes and I just loved every second of the racing. “I can’t wait to get to Phillip Island. I think we’ve got an awesome package. “I don’t think the Hyundai was better than the Alfa or anything like that, but Dylan’s car just gripped up towards the end of the race. You could see it where he was understeering out of corners but we could get the rear to loosen up and that’s where we could make the move for the win. “Everyone was a little bit cautious but the racing was really tough, the whole experience this weekend was great.” Dylan O'Keeffe Driver, Ashley Seward Motorsport Alfa Romeo “I’m really happy with how everything’s going so far, we’ve made so much progress in the car over the weekend,” said Dylan O’Keeffe. “It’s been fantastic working with the guys at GRM and Ashley Seward Motorsport, they’re very knowledgeable and it showed on track with our performance. “We were quick at the start of the races but slowed towards the end compared to the Hyundais but it’s a great start for our campaign overall. “I knew the Alfa would be quick out of the box, we’d seen that with TCR racing overseas so the baseline setup we had was great. We made a few little adjustments with the car and I think we’ve got in a good setup window. “I’m looking forward to Phillip Island, it’s a faster and more flowing track so it will be interesting to see how we perform there.” Michael Almond Driver, GWR Australia Hyundai “The car was fantastic all weekend. GWR Australia and Platinum Motorsport did a great job to put the car together,” said Michael Almond. “I calmed down a bit after Qualifying and moved on from the bad luck in Race 1 and drove the car nice and smooth and it seemed to reward me. “There was a little bit of carnage in the races so we got lucky with that but we had the speed to hunt down the guys at the front towards the end which was really promising." |
