Overview

  • Will Brown says a rolled left ankle from touch football will not hinder him and he is using a moon boot for the week.
  • Broc Feeney is managing a sore back, which Jamie Whincup characterized earlier as leaving him stiff, with the team monitoring his condition.
  • Practice results were encouraging, with Feeney/Jamie Whincup fifth in opening practice and Brown/Scott Pye seventh in wet conditions.
  • Scott Pye put the No. 1 Triple Eight car fastest in Practice 2 as rain limited meaningful running in the second half of the session.
  • Team manager Mark Dutton says preparation has been adjusted to protect the drivers, processes have been tightened after The Bend issues, and resources are also going into a 2026 switch to Ford.
