RACE 3:

AMBROSE: "I tried to hold Mark (Skaife) off, but he had a bit more car speed in the early stages and got me with a good move at turn one ... After he got by it was a matter of trying a few things within the car and just making sure we got it home in one piece. We did not clinch a win this weekend, but we obviously had some pace and came away with three top-four finishes.It is always pleasing to come away from this race with some good results and without any major work to do on the car with the opening round of the year only two weeks away in Adelaide"

• BRIGHT, 2ND: "I'm happy considering we've had one test day and just the one practice session behind us"
• SKAIFE, 3RD: ""We've spent a lot of time and money on these cars during the off- season ... As always it is my goal to win the championship, just as it is everyone else's. I'm sure it is going to be a very interesting year for everybody"
• AMBROSE, 5TH: "We just need to learn as much as we can over the next three days and go into Adelaide with the best package possible. It is all about getting your line and length right this weekend so Adelaide is hopefully mistake free."
• INGALL, 8TH: "The races might not be for championship points, but a race is a race. Anyone who is not focused on trying to win these races can end up in a wall quite easily or cause drama for other around them. Further limits to testing this season means that you are going to be spending even less time in the car. I think that means that every time you are in the car you have to be on the limit and that will certainly be the case this weekend."
