But can you give me some idea? Because, you know, setting a time that was ridiculously quick.
2:27
Yeah.
2:28
Yeah.
2:28
I mean, yeah.
2:30
Yeah, Brodie went.
2:31
I watched all the runners go through.
2:33
There was a few guys that I knew would be super fast heading into the shootout.
3:44
But it's more than just that, isn't it?
32:01
you definitely can
32:02
yeah you know it's also cool to share the podium with Will I said that up in the press conference the guy that's helped me so much and Aaron did an unbelievable job so kudos to him he stepped it up and put put it put it in a position for me to be able to do what I did
34:20
Can I final comment on that actually? How
34:22
the hell did you do that yesterday? I don't know.
34:26
Obviously, the track got a lot better at the end there, but I was kind of the viewpoint.
34:31
I said to Matt, I'm like, I'm going to have a go because I've come this far.
34:38
It would be silly not to have a go.
34:40
So, yeah, that was awesome.
4:50
Um, qualifying speed for you guys, couple of shootouts for you, couple of shootouts for your teammate, that's pretty good.
4:56
Oh, yeah.
4:56
Look, um, Jack, Jack did a fantastic job in both the qualifying and, uh, and the races.
5:01
For me, yeah, just not good enough in the races.
5:03
So, um, yeah, no, uh, no two ways about it, I'm just not doing a good enough job.
5:09
So when you say you're not doing a good enough job, is that a speed thing or a race craft thing? 'Cause it sounded like you were getting your elbows out today.
5:15
Yeah, it's, uh, yeah, the speed is actually quite decent, uh, in t- the two long races.
5:20
Um, yeah, it's just I, I made a mistake trying to pass OJ to, um, help...
7:45
no that was uh that was good what did you you have any you had a few controversial moments in that last race though you were just
7:52
what did you call yourself the big red target yeah i was a big red moving target um yeah some people thought i was like a mobile chicane um yeah it was pretty wild like off the start um you got a good start and move forward and the rain came and i was just hanging on for dear life to be honest like it's quite good you know seeing what you guys were doing and i was just trying my best to like copy it um and then yeah came for the pit stop and yeah it wasn't quite as good got shuffled back and then yeah the big talking point of the race was probably the main straight with um yeah cam hill um so i kind of got up Next to him in the last corner and onto the main straight.
8:29
And then he bumped me the first time.
8:31
And I was kind of like, oh, I guess, you know, I'm new on the block.
8:34
Like, it's going to happen.
8:35
And then, yeah, he went left and then came back right and just, yeah, really hit me.
8:40
And you're actually mates with him,

6 MINS LATER
