BEN CROKE - TEAM PRINCIPAL 
"It was a challenging qualifying session this morning and in this series, qualifying is key to how you go in the race. So after a bit of a challenging qualifying this morning with an issue on No.17 and probably not the pace we would've liked on No.11 it kind of sets your day up from there. Starting mid-pack for Race 1, the cars got beaten up & Anton got turned around, so for him to fight back and finish in the teens and not give up was great of him. 

The beauty of this series is we don't start where we finished today, we get a chance to reset overnight, we come back and we qualify again tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day and we'll be working hard overnight to get a bit of pace for qualifying and then we can go on from there to Race 2."
