“It’s been a good weekend,” said Taylor

“I think I’ve learnt a bit more about the car and about myself. We’ve changed the set-up, so we’ve moved up and down, but there’s also been a bit of damage, which is not good. Some of that has been my fault, some of it has been due to others, but there’s close racing in the V8 SuperUtes.

“I think my performance was good and I can’t wait to do the final two rounds.”
