But, um,

um the attitude there is whatever it takes you tell us what you need and we'll we'll do it you know what i mean and and and they just sort everything out so so yeah that's that that really that did you know lift me and then i guess once you once you once all that's done then what it is on you you know what i mean at the end of the day

you know, you carrying the weight of, of, of that of the party or of your job, you know, you go to the setup, that's, that's your responsibility.

And I mean, everyone else is doing their job.

And now it's on you.

So then it does put a lot more pressure on yourself to, to lift, I guess, to, to execute and, and make it work.

Well, I think he helps you tune a car that looks after the tyre for a start.

I think he's sympathetic to the tyre.

But the good guys you work with have a lot of CPU left over from, you know, normal operation of the vehicle, just like getting it around the lap without falling off.

the really good guys have enough have enough bandwidth left to log what's going on and then when they tell when they can explain that to you you as an engineer can do something about it like you can look at shane's data and

i don't think you can figure out how he's doing the magic you know what i mean like it's this it's hard to look at it and go pinpoint you do that and you'll you can do what shane can do it's not that easy it's a feel thing absolutely and it doesn't show up in the data 100 you know what i mean what he's doing in breaking into the corner so

You know, you are relying a little, you know, a lot on the driver to help you, you know, interpret what's going on.

And once again, that's not their job to engineer the car.

And Shane's the perfect example.

Like I say, he's not into that.

But he does describe what's good and he does spit out what doesn't work quickly.

Yeah.

um and we've done that a few times even in 23 um at bathurst you know i mean we

don't know we were lost but he wasn't happy with the car per se um and we tried a whole another set up in practice five saturday morning with richie and you know it had some some uh advantages and possibly looked all right anyway we set the test up for shane he does one lap no

It's sliding the rear on the entry.
