\u201c[Ford] asked if they could use it as a spare and said they would pay to freight it to Bathurst. We were taking the truck down anyway, but I said they can pay for the diesel.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so here it is. And if the Ford wins, I\u2019m taking a bit of the prize money!\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite owning the brand new Mustang, Quinn is actually racing a Melbourne Performance Centre-run Audi alongside sons Klark and Kent and grandson Ryder in the 12 Hour.<\/p>\n
The decision to go with a customer program, rather than run his own car, came down to the complicated nature of modern GT3 hardware.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Mustang has never been started and that\u2019s because I\u2019m selling it,\u201d added Quinn.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have 20 people to run the car and they are very complicated nowadays. That\u2019s why we went with MPC because if anything happens to the car, they\u2019ve got all of the spares.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now Ford have got my car they\u2019ll be fine [on spares] too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both the Quinn Audi and the HRT Ford will take part in the top 50 percent qualifying session later today thanks to Ryder Quinn going fourth fastest and Feeney 11th in Practice 6<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
