Mark Winterbottom – #5 The Bottle-O PRA Ford:
Qualifying: 7th – 1m28.87s
Race 18: 19th
“We were tracking okay running in sixth. Our pace was reasonable, not leading pace, but to everyone else we were pretty good. In the last stint I went out and we broke something. The car turned nastily and from the out lap it was bad so I don’t know what we’ve done. Something has let go so it is frustrating. It was an easy p6 today and in the end we looked amateur running around at the back. It was about survival. We will find what it was but you can’t read a broken car so it has been a frustrating day.”
Cameron Waters – #6 Monster Energy PRA Ford:
Qualifying: 15th – 1m29.06s
Race 18: DNF
“It wasn’t the best day. We missed the set-up in qualifying and being so tight it doesn’t take too much to miss the top 10. We made the car a little bit better in the race and then after the pit stop I had to double-stack which dropped me back. We put a lot of fuel in the car and I was passing some slower cars. I passed Alex Rullo and got under him but the left-rear tyre just exploded. It spun the car because I only had three tyres and Alex had nowhere to go and drove into me and took me out. There wasn’t much I could do. The failure was weird but we’ll bounce back at Sandown.”
Chaz Mostert – #55 Supercheap Auto PRA Ford:
Qualifying: 2nd – 1m28.35s
Race 18: 5th
“Our car balance wasn’t quite right out of the gate and that last stint when everyone dived in early there is no way we could’ve done that. Adam and I worked hard today but the car balance hurt as we burnt front tyres and the rears a little bit. That just comes down to the stuff we need to keep working on. Overall to finish fifth and second yesterday is a great bunch of points from the weekend. To get a front row start today was great but we need to capitalise on those qualifying efforts. We are in amongst the top guys but just lacking a little bit.”
Jason Bright – #56 MEGA Fuels PRA Ford:
Qualifying: 10th – 1m28.98s
Race 18: 8th
“Stacking in the pit stop today put us back in the pack so we had to go pretty aggressive on the last stint but the car was great. It had tyre life and pretty good pace. The last stint was one of the best we’ve had all year. I am happy we’ve made good progress the last couple of rounds. There is a little bit of time to find in qualifying but I am looking at the pace of the guys in the next group in front and I think we can run there if we can get the car up there at the start. It is hard to do that pace when you are back in the pack. I am very happy with the weekend and a little more pace in qualifying will put us in another league again.”
Tim Edwards – Team Principal:
“It was a tougher day today but we still took positive from it and the weekend as a whole. Chaz qualified and raced well and the battle at the end with the two teams that we’ve been chasing since the start of the year shows we are closing it heading into the biggest races of the year. Jason drove well and converted his qualifying effort which was encouraging. Frosty and Cam endured a troubled day but both have found gains so we’re confident we’ll challenge heading into Sandown. It was also great to see Richie win on his debut weekend. He fully deserved the victory and it is great preparation for the enduros.”
Prodrive Racing (Australia)’s Richie Stanaway has claimed his maiden Supercars race win with a commanding victory in the final race of the Super2 round in Sydney, and finishing third overall for the event. Stanaway led into the first corner and was never headed. Team-mate Garry Jacobson was strong as well, claiming third in the race and just missing the round podium. Josh Kean had the drive of the day with the young South Australian moving from the back row to finish ninth in just 18-laps.
Garry Jacobson – #1 MEGA Fuels PRA Ford:
Race 4: 3rd
“It was a better race all round today and while I missed the podium for the weekend we had our most consistent and trouble-free weekend for a while. I now switch to double-duties running Super 2 and the main series at Sandown but I am looking forward to the challenge.”
Josh Kean – #5 Wynns PRA Ford:
Race 4: 9th
“It was finally great to have a race with no issues or incidents. While there was a few crazy moments on the first lap, starting at the back actually meant I could avoid most of the chaos. It was nice to have the car working and be able to move through the field as easily as I did. It was a nice way to end the weekend.”
Richie Stanaway – #6 PRA Ford:
Race 4: 1st
“It was great. You never know what to expect coming into a new series. I wanted to win but didn’t know if that was a realistic goal or not. We chipped away and got the car in a really good window so I couldn’t be happier really. The biggest advantage was to get more comfortable driving the car on the limit. I am a lot more comfortable now so co-driving with Cam I’ll be able to do a lot better job. It has been a great experience for me.”
