Unsurprisingly the Kiwi didn't face much of a fight from across the T8 garage this season thanks to a combination of his own career-best form, and the fact he was up against a Supercars rookie in Feeney.
He admitted he had missed the competition he had with former teammate-tuned-team boss Jamie Whincup during the 2022 season, and said being pushed more by Feeney would be critical to the team's chances with the new Gen3 cars in 2023."Sometimes I miss getting pushed by [Whincup], but Broc out-qualified me [in Adelaide], so there's always something to learn.
However he also made it clear that front-running results is the expectation by the end of the season."I'm not sure when that will be. I'm not sure if it will in three months time, a year, or two or three years. But I've always said if any team is going to take on a rookie, at least give them two years to prove themselves.
