FRIDAY WRAP - MELBOURNE GRAND PRIX

‍

Friday’s running at the Australian Grand Prix featured just one race for the Supercars field, with limited green-flag action due to two safety car periods across the 19-lap race. Cam Waters finished where he started in P6, while Thomas Randle battled through a tough race to come home in P20.

It was a challenging race for Randle, who dealt with car issues from the outset, making it difficult to move forward. Contact with David Reynolds only added to his struggles, causing damage that left him managing the car to the finish. Despite the difficulties, he fought hard to bring it home and is looking ahead to a stronger showing on Saturday.

THOMAS RANDLE – No. 55 Castrol Racing Ford Mustang
"That was a tough one. I had a few challenges from the start, and then the contact with Reynolds really didn’t help—it popped the tyre off the rim and made it a bit of a survival race. Not much we could do today, but we’ll reset overnight and come back stronger tomorrow."

For Waters, it was a relatively uneventful race. After getting away well at the start, he was unable to make much progress, with the limited green running leaving little opportunity to move forward.

CAM WATERS – No. 6 Monster Energy Ford Mustang
"Not a whole lot to say about that one. Got a good start, but with all the safety cars, there wasn’t much green-flag racing, so we just circulated and finished where we started. Hopefully, we can qualify up the front tomorrow and have a better run in the afternoon."

With two more races still to come, the team is looking forward to a fresh start on Saturday, aiming for stronger qualifying results and better track position for the races ahead.
