Q:
You tested on Monday, how did it go? Are you happy with the set-up?
CW:
That was the first opportunity for us to run on the Pirelli control tyre. We had a good balance and set-up for the tyres in our championships. We put that [control] tyre on, okay it's changed some of the characteristics, but the balance of the car is still there. There's not as much tyre wear or grip, but overall it was a good opportunity to have a look.
Q:
Who are you comparing yourself against?
CW:
Obviously, Hayden and Richard. For ourselves, we want to go out there and do the best job we can. The Championship is very important, but there's also an opportunity to get on the podium. We'll say we're going for top Kiwi and that'll bring the result in the home Championship and the result at home.
Q:
Is there any possibility of a bigger PWRC programme for you next year?
CW:
Not at this stage. We're fortunate to be here. We need to make the most of that and what comes of that in the future only time will tell. If we can do it justice, who know what might come out of the woodwork.
Q:
It's not just the PWRC you'll be competing in, this event is also a round of the New Zealand Rally Championship – there's a lot of pressure on you here…
CW:
It's included in the national championship. We have points on hand for Friday and Saturday's legs. It's important to achieve maximum points to put us in overall contention at the end of the year.
