THE WORD FROM TIM
“It was awesome to turn up at the track today and see so many fans out here, it was pretty overwhelming to see that many people out here so early, which goes to show Supercars have picked an awesome location to host the 2017 finale.”
“Today we had 2 x 40-minute practice sessions, so it was about learning the track, experiencing all those turns, bumps and kerbs and pushing the limits on each lap to go that little bit faster.”
“It’s a tricky track, pretty technical mix of turns and plenty of spaces where a small error could cost you a lot. I think the racing ahead is going to be pretty exciting, especially with the longer 250km race each day.”
