Round 4 - Phillip Island SuperSprint

Apr 15

17th in Race 10. We just had no pace - not outright speed but when everyone else degraded a lot, we sorta had similar speed. Really tough weekend, we didn’t really make inroads in the areas we needed too. The guys worked massive hours, but unfortunately we just have nothing to show for it. We’ll regroup and go to Perth which is a good round for me. We’ll try not to lose the momentum but we’ve had a really good run so far and only one setback. Just gotta keep working, proud if all the people at @irwinracing, they’ve worked their backsides off! #FrostyFan #IRWINRacing

Qualified P19. Tough session - we're still learning and evolving. We lost speed in that session and the car was hard to drive. We're still trying, and we aren't giving up. Hopefully the gurus in the garage can move me up the front and will see how we go. #FrostyFan #IRWINRacing

14th in Practice 4 - we came close in that session. Not the best run, I had a car in front make a mistake on my last lap. We're clutching a straw to get that last little bit, it's so close. It feels like a better race car, but its still hard to get a lap out of. We've got about an hour to try and fix it and we'll fight through Q1. Qualifying at 11:10am. #FrostyFan #IRWINRacing

In the latest IRWIN Racing team member chat, I spoke to my #2 mechanic, Reece, about his role in the team and how he got started! ???????? Watch video

I mean, they told me to drive the wheels off it! ??????????? Finished 21st, we had a few dramas with wheels coming loose throughout the race. The guys are looking into the cause now, we’ll fix it tonight. It wasn’t workmanship related, the pitstops were clean and the wheels were done up. We’ll fix it and go again tomorrow, just one of those tough days. #FrostyFan #IRWINRacing @ Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit

Wasnt a clean session unfortunately - we made massive changes to the car between practice and qualifying. Lost some time at the start of the session with a mishap in the pits and only got one outing. I really needed that 2nd run to get in the through to Q2. Start Race 9 from 16th. On a positive I think we’ve improved the car and we’ve got 120kms at 3:50pm to move forward. #FrostyFan #IRWINRacing

14th for Practice 3.. car still has similar characteristics to yesterday. We spent the majority of the session doing a race run which was cool, and then tried to do a lap at the end. Still some things to find in the car, we’ve got 2 hours so we’ll work hard and try and tune it up for qualifying. Aim is to get through the first leg of qualifying, and try end up somewhere near the pointy end! #FrostyFan #IRWINRacing

Few dramas today not a clean run. Tune it up and go hard tomorrow.

P18 in Practice 2 - struggled with the balance of the car. Wasn’t the best lap by me, timing wasn’t great and we spent a long time in the pits with a front end drama. I didn’t want to be in Q1, as its a bit risky, but we were no where near the 10. We’ll work hard over night to try and tune it up and be quicker tomorrow! #FrostyFan #IRWINRacing

Apr 12

8th in Practice 1 - pretty reasonable session. First couple of outings we tuned the race car up, and I was reasonably happy with it. We came in at the end and created a bit of understeer. We’re trying to get through our list but the sessions go pretty quick. We have another practice at 3:10pm, and we’ll try get in the top 10 for tomorrow. #FrostyFan #IRWINRacing ActronAir Malibu Boats Australia Air Clean Filters Orrcon Steel

Phillip Island kicks off today, and its feels like we were just in Tassie! Today we have Practice 1 and Practice 2. This weekend has the 3 part qualifying again, so being in the top 10 in P2 will be super important. Hoping we’ve learnt lots about the car since the test day, and it should be a good weekend with the IRWIN Racing crew! ????????
