Broc Feeney – Car #88
“The goal from today was to make sure we made the shootout, which we’ve done, so that’s great. It doesn’t really matter if you’re first or tenth, as long as you’ve made it in there. We’re certainly not the quickest car out there, but we’ve been close. We learnt a few things, and it’s just awesome to be in the shootout – my first one. We’ll try and focus on the race car a bit tomorrow and then tune it up for the shootout.”

Jamie Whincup – Car #88
“Overall, both of our cars are in the ten, so that’s fantastic. Of course you want to be faster, but today’s job was to get both cars in the ten, and we did that. Broc was solid all day, and SVG did a great job on the last lap. He wasn’t happy with the car but he dug deep and got us into the ten, so full respect to him. We’ll now work on making the cars quicker. In terms of race pace, we’re not sure on what it will be – I don’t think anyone knows just yet. We’ve got some work to do, but I’m happy we’re in the ten.”

Shane van Gisbergen – Car #97
“I had another pretty disappointing day, but as always I have to thank my team for doing an incredible job with my car again, but it’s been tough out there. The #88 guys are doing a cracking job and we’re working really well together to make sure both cars are competitive before we get to Sunday. At the end of the day, the car is still straight, we’re working through our program, and our excitement is building to Sunday.”

Richie Stanaway – Car #97
“The main objective for today was getting into the shootout, so that’s a box ticked. I’m looking forward to the co-driver session in the morning because today was a light day for me. I think we have some good car speed, so we have to keep working on that and see how we end up on Sunday. I’m comfortable in the car, so we just have to keep moving forward from where we are, but overall I think we’re in a pretty good spot.”
