Peter’s vision and what he’s aiming to achieve is clear to me, and I’m extremely excited to be a part of this journey.

That’s our final practice session here at The Mountain wrapped up – all that stands between us and the start of the Great Race now is tomorrow’s warm-up, and a whole lot of final preparations in the garages of course!
For that last 60-minute outing our focus was on fine-tuning both our on-track cars with Tim and Jimmy at the wheel, and our pit lane performance with a range of practices run-through, and we are feeling sharp!
We will be seeing you back on-track tomorrow for the warm-up at 8.15am, followed by the big one from 11.30am – in the meantime, stay tuned for our Saturday wrap-up.
🏁 Practice for The Great Race is done! Jimmy finishes in P15, and Tim in P23. Tim reports over the radio to Gilly that he’s finally feeling comfortable in the car—perfect timing as we gear up for tomorrow! 🔥💪
📻 Gilly over the radio to Tim: “Three timed laps to finish the session.” The team is gearing up for a strong finish as we wrap up the final practice. Let’s make these laps count! 🔥🏎️
🚩 Red Flag! A car is driving slowly with the back hanging off, bringing the session to a halt. Teams are on standby as the track is cleared. We’ll keep you updated as we approach the final moments of practice. 🔧🏎️
⏱️ 20 minutes remaining in this final session! Jimmy is finding his rhythm, currently running in P6, while Tim is consistently lapping in the 2:08s, sitting in P19. Both drivers are pushing hard as we approach the end of practice! 💪🔥
🏁 Jimmy boxes for a quick chat with Druss as the crew makes what will most likely be the final change for this session. Fine-tuning every detail as we head into the final stretch of practice! 🔧🏎️
🏁 Green Flag! The session has resumed with 35 minutes remaining. Jimmy is behind the wheel of car #31, and Tim is in car #23. Time to make the most of these final laps before the big race tomorrow! 🔥🏎️
👏 Another great job, crew! A nice, clean practice stop for car #31—tyres, brakes, and fuel all done efficiently. Jimmy hasn’t returned to the track as we are back under red flag conditions. 🔧🏎️
👏 Great work, crew! A nice, clean practice stop for car #23. Perfect execution as we fine-tune everything for tomorrow’s Great Race. Let’s keep up the momentum! 🔧🏎️
🏁 Green Flag! The session has resumed, and Tim is heading out for a lap before coming back in. The crew will be practising a full pit stop for tyres, brakes, and fuel—no driver change this time. Perfecting those stops for race day! 🔧⛽
