COMMENTS ON THE INDYCARNIVAL AUSTRALIA CIRCUIT BASED ON HIS EXPERIENCE ON SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS STREET CIRCUITS IN THE WORLD LIKE MONACO WHERE HE RACED IN THE F3 RACE IN 1992: "They have done a tremendous job of putting together such a fantastic street circuits. It is one of the best that I have ever been to, because there is such a long straight, good run-off areas, pretty good corners, and very nice facilities for the mechanics to work. It is a very good location. The Australian people have given me a warm welcome. Everything has been really, really special and I understand now why everyone has always spoke so highly of the Gold Coast."
COMMENTS ABOUT FRIDAY'S PRACTICE AND QUALIFYING: "Unfortunately for us, today has been tremendously frustrating. We were only able to run four laps in qualifying so it is almost impossible to improve on the set-up of the car. The only thing we can do is work to get ready for the race and get the most out of it."
