(on his FIA World Rallycross Championship debut)
"It's been absolutely awesome. I can't overstate how much fun I've had. To be behind the wheel of one of these amazing vehicles and be part of it, to race, to line up on this grid, the adrenaline yesterday (Saturday) and today (Sunday) was just incredible. It's been a dream come true for me. I definitely want to come back and try again."

"No I didn't know what to expect. I certainly didn't expect to get any Championship points. I just didn't want to make an idiot out of myself. I didn't want to get in other peoples' way. At the start I was thinking, am I going to get lapped or trip people up. So it was just nice to feel like I was battling by the end. By race four I felt like I was able to push on a little bit and if I was a little bit quicker and got through that gap I might have won that third race. That's what Rallycross is all about. bit of contact, bit of fun."

"I've learnt so much. It was funny, from last night going to be, going to sleep, your brain processes all the information. I woke up in the morning and felt like I hit the ground running today (Sunday) and I felt like I was on a different level to yesterday. If I could get a couple of races under my belt, a bit of testing, you get a little bit closer and then you can mix it with some of the fast boys."

(Reporter: Which one?)
"I'm going to go for experience, going to go for Timmy (Hansen) over Kevin (Hansen). He's just so consistent and he's got the history under his belt a little bit more. But Kevin, obviously he's been super quick today.  Timmy I reckon.
