While the opening 40 minutes of free practice started off well for Team Vortex and Craig Lowndes at the Townsville 400 this morning, the Supercar veteran racer finishing in fourth place overall, the second session left a lot to be desired.
During the break the team tried out a few different options on the car in an attempt to make it go just that little bit quicker, however, the changes didn't yield the results they were hoping for, leaving Craig all the way down in 21st place at the end of the day.
"Practice one ended up really well, P4 was nice to get right at the end," Lowndes said. "In practice two we opted to try more of a race run and some other things. Some worked, some didn't quite work, so we'll obviously analyse that.”
"I'm a little disappointed to finish 21st at the end of practice two, but all in all we have learnt a lot today so that's something we'll take out of it and put it into qualifying tomorrow, which is obviously the important one. It's been an interesting day. Good learning day, now we'll see what tomorrow brings."
