‘What a weekend finishing P3 at Bathurst and claiming the fastest lap! The conditions weren’t the best but we managed to carry good speed throughout. I just want to say a massive thank you to the Harrolds RACING team for all their hard work this weekend and for giving me this opportunity. Also well done to my teammate Ross Poulakis for a fantastic debut weekend at the mountain hopefully we will have more to come!’– Jordan Love
