Next stop …. Darwin, and what a relief it was to finally arrive where the sun is shining and it’s nice and warm!
Having now been full-time with the team for four seasons, it was very satisfying to clock up my 50th V8 Supercar round start in Tasmania at the weekend.
There’s no hiding it, last weekend was one I’d like to forget. I came to Winton with high hopes of continuing my championship charge. Being my home track, I thought we had a very realistic chance of winning.
I have to admit, in the lead up to Hamilton, I was feeling pretty confident about having another solid weekend.
Two street races in two weeks is one hell of a way to start a season!
Finally we’re back into gear and racing again for another season, and I couldn’t think of a better place to kick off than the Clipsal 500.
