Despite the forecast looking grim, the weather gods were on our side yesterday as the team completed their third and final test day of 2017 at Winton Raceway.

Sunday was a tough finish to a weekend where there were positives and progress.

It was a Saturday filled with mixed emotions at Sydney Motorsport Park, but the biggest thing to come out of it was a top 5 finish for Scott Pye.

Sydney Motorsport Park, also known as Eastern Creek, plays host to round 9 of the 2017 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship this weekend, so we’ve packed up the truck and headed up the Hume Highway.

It was a productive test day for Mobil 1 HSV Racing at Winton yesterday, with the team working through a designated program of evaluation.

Scott Pye fought back late to grab 16th in today’s 200km race at Queensland Raceway, but a front left tyre failure ruined James Courtney’s afternoon.

Despite different strategies, Scott Pye and James Courtney finished nose to tail after 120km in Ipswich, with both cars moving forward in the race to finish 13th and 14th.

We’re headed back to the paperclip for round 8 of the 2017 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship, the Ipswich SuperSprint.

We still aren’t content with where we are at, but progress has been made this weekend.
