Triple Eight Race Engineering

I think it's going to be a cool weekend.

Triple Eight Race Engineering, in even better news for Formula Legend Industries, has confirmed its Bathurst 12-hour entry with a Ford Mustang GT3 to be driven by Brock Feeney and Will Brown.

A third driver is likely to come from Ford's factory driver pool, will be announced at a later date.

For Feeney, next year's race will offer him a shot at redemption after his first outing in the Mustang was thwarted by a rogue kangaroo.

I don't like that, but I think the rules are pretty good how they stick at the moment.

Frosty, let's talk about AAA.

Now, you had a fair bit to say about the team on Motor Racing 360 last week.

I think you said, and I quite roughly, if Will Brown's eliminated, Brock Feeney goes on and wins the whole thing.

Yeah, a little bit of a different one, this one.

Not so much a team order per se, but crafty Triple H strategy that it definitely helped out Jamie Winkup in his quest for his seventh title.

A fresh set of boots thrown on Craig Lowndes' car late came charging back through the field.

Scott McLaughlin had...

And it's so close now that if the teams execute, you could go to, it's rare you're going to see someone win with a round to go.

But back in, you know, even just 10 years ago, you're not really competing with AAA at that.

Whereas today you can.

I think the smaller teams actually do have a shot at doing a good job and being a top five championship contender.

As the track dried out, Will was a jet.

And then I look at the weekend and I don't know.

I think they're wet car at AAA.

I think they're struggling a little bit to find the window.

You can

imagine that the sensitivity around that in the AAA garage is massive given what happened in Adelaide last year, even though they're running a completely different brand of car with a completely different brand of engine in it now.

But that was a funny one.

So it was a sensor issue, but I was talking to Jamie Winkup about this and he said, by the time we get the sensors on the back of the motor, he said, by the time we get to it, fixing it's not really any easier than just putting a new motor in.
