MotoGP star Jack Miller got to ride in a Supercar for the first time alongside reigning champion Shane van Gisbergen: RepcoSC
The KTM rider lapped the Townsville street circuit alongside the reigning Supercars champion and NASCAR sensation during sponsor rides.
"I was mesmerised watching the footwork because I heard as we were coming into the corner, he’s blipping there, and I look over thinking it was auto-blip or something… it was definitely cool to watch [the heel-and-toe] in the cockpit." “I didn’t even know where the track went around the back," said Miller."It was my first time going down there, so it was really cool to do a lap of the home track.""No dramas. Call me stupid or something, I don’t know, when you’re in a cage you instantly feel safe," he said.
