Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player.
There was so much going on out there, I must admit I was extremely surprised by a few things that happened both on and off the racetrack.
First of all, I got squeezed at the very first corner with Garth Tander; he ran me into the tyre bundle, it damaged my steering and front bodywork, so in my opening pit stop it took an additional 20 seconds to change the wheel. But that's motor racing.
The next incident was the safety car restart that resulted in Jason Bright's accident.
I was on the receiving end of a drive-through penalty, and it was a complete surprise to me!
I still don't know what we did wrong; for me a safety car is put out for safety reasons, so at the end of it you just want to resume racing in a fair manner.
Ever since they have changed the restart format it has been an absolute lottery, and I'm disappointed by that.
Then I copped another drive-through penalty for speeding in pit lane, but I obviously have to put my hand up for that one, if that has happened then it is completely my fault.

So after those two penalties, we were right back, and we had to race really hard.
We lost a lap, I managed to get it back, a safety car came at the right time for us, we pitted for new tyres, and I was able to fight back to fifth.
It's probably the most eventful race I can remember having, so I'm really excited about that, we've got good points to take away from the weekend, and we flexed a bit of muscle from Jack Daniel's Racing's point of view to say that we are back.

It's one year on with the Nissan Altimas in V8 Supercars, and I still can't believe the position we are in.
When compared on the track to the Holdens, the Fords, everyone bar the Volvos (who are in a league of their own as far as straight line speed is concerned), we've got good pace and a fair run, which is all that we could hope for.
The big thing to take away from this weekend in Adelaide is the rapport I have built with my engineer Erik Pender, we have really struck a chord.
The car in that last race was strong enough to be right at the front, I'm excited by that, and I can't wait to get to the next race at the Australian Grand Prix and continue developing the car.
