The Canberra native posed with the Gen3 Camaro on the Parliament House lawns on Tuesday as part of a promo for locally based sponsor Supaglass.<\/p>\n

It marked the return of a Supercar to the area, which hosted a street race for the championship three times from 2000.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really cool to have the Supaglass Chevy right here on the lawn of Parliament House,\u201d said Hill.<\/p>\n

\u201cA very iconic shot, especially for me as a Canberran and for Supaglass who are based in the ACT. It\u2019s a massive credit to Matt Stone Racing for making this happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s turned out not too bad, the car survived the weekend so that\u2019s always nice. It was just a bit dusty underneath\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Hill qualified on the front-row for Sunday\u2019s race, but his hopes of a podium finish took a hit thanks to an early off-track excursion for co-driver Cam McLeod.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still had a good day, finished 11th, but after qualifying on the front-row we would have liked a little bit more,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hill said it was a strange experience watching his co-driver start the race \u2013 a strategy made possible by a rule change ahead of this year\u2019s Enduro Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good that the co-drivers can start again, I think it\u2019s going to spice up the strategy, especially at Bathurst,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a bit weird. I was pretty calm before the race\u2026 but once it started I had to really focus on my breathing, I was nervous as all hell.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is weird watching someone else drive your car around the track.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hill sits 13th in the championship having lost a place to teammate Nick Percat, who finished fifth on Sunday alongside co-driver Tim Slade.<\/p>\n

Only one round remains before the inaugural Supercars Finals Series kicks off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam Hill poses with his Camaro in Canberra.
