Mark Skaife
“I guess we didn’t set the world on fire, but we went a fair way into developing a race package for Sunday. It’s still not the nicest car I’ve driven, but we’ll try some tweaks and fine-tuning tomorrow to improve things. “
Todd Kelly
“Traffic was a bit of a drama but the car was pretty comfortable and we should find some more speed tomorrow. There were no major problems. “
Glenn Seton
“It’s great to be back at Bathurst in a red car. It’s a great team and our car went well on old tyres. It’s easy to drive and we should go well in qualifying tomorrow. “
Nathan Pretty
“I didn’t do a heap of laps but that will come tomorrow. Today was all about getting comfortable, checking data and looking for areas to improve. I knicked a wall at Skyline but there was no damage. ”
