Will Brown lifts lid on Triple Eight data deals<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lacroix said sticking to the information supplied by Triple Eight essentially removes a variable, noting restricted tyres and testing hamper efforts to branch out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019ve got somebody next to you who is putting five tenths on you and you can see where it is through the corner, the first thing we need to do is be honest with ourselves and say, \u2018what did we miss?\u2019\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t the set up because obviously we are very close in set up, so what is it that we are not doing right to allow that?<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I change the set up every session to try and find gold, it\u2019s not going to happen. We haven\u2019t got enough tyre, we haven\u2019t got enough time on track, we haven\u2019t got enough test days to do that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last test day we did [at Queensland Raceway] was mainly co-driver, making sure they do a good job in the enduros.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not like we could go out there with three or four sets of green tyres for Richie to find a new way of driving the car. We don\u2019t have that flexibility. It doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, within the constraints of having the tyres and time to test, we need to work on the element we can and some of these are not to transform the car into something different.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, this is not the time to do that. We need to stay close, clever [and make a] little change, little adaptation for each driver.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as long as our friends at Triple Eight are that fast, we need to understand how they do it before we try to find a different way to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
