Townsville tyre twist trips up Triple Eight on team’s ‘ worst day of the year’ in new street track trend Triple Eight boss Jamie Whincup suspects differences in tyre batches brought to Townsville were behind the poor qualifying results that saw his team lose ground in the championship.
Sunday’s lowly starting position was particularly costly, resulting in a first-lap shunt in the chaos of the back of the pack.“Why didn’t we have the pace? That’s to really understand, debrief-wise.The team’s lack of pace appeared to stem from a switch of Dunlop tyre batches. “l felt like we made gains, but I think the different batch of tyres are a fair bit different and we just struggled on our allocations, which showed in practice 2,” he said.
