Feeney turns down Spa, Indy races

The Triple Eight driver has revealed that he was initially part of the team’s plans to contest two overseas rounds of the Intercontinental GT Challenge – the 24 Hours of Spa and the Indianapolis 8 Hour.

However he decided to inform Triple Eight that he won’t be available for the races in a bid to focus on his Supercars commitments.

Both races fall a week before a Supercars race weekend, with Spa right before the Townsville 500 and Indy right before the Bathurst 1000.

“I haven’t really spoken about it openly, but I was locked in for [Intercontinental GT Challenge], so the [Bathurst] 12 Hour I was in the Pro car and then Spa 24 and Indy 8 Hour,” Feeney told The Driver’s Seat radio show.

“For me it’s very exciting to have these opportunities to race in them with Triple Eight, but I had to come to myself and have a really good think about it this year.

“My 100 per cent focus is always Supercars, and I feel this year more than ever.

“I’ve knocked back to do those races, I’ve told them I don’t want to do Spa 24 and Indy 8 Hour just because it falls a week before Townsville and the Bathurst 1000.

“Everyone I talk to is like, ‘oh my god, are you serious? You’re turning down these events?’. But I’m trying to be a bit more mature about it.

“I spoke to everyone at the team. I sort of go, I believe I’m in a position where in a couple of years, or next year, I will be able to go and do these races. I feel like the opportunity will still be there. So I’m trying to take it in as much as I can this year to really focus on Supercars.

“It was a hard one. These are bucket list races that I could have done. But I feel I’ve made the right decision.

“Obviously I’m going to be kicking myself watching it on TV. But I couldn’t live with myself if I had shocker the next weekend.

“Racing on the other side of the planet, there is a lot of complications that come with it. So I think I’ve mad the right decision.”

The T8 IGTC programme will be run in conjunction with Johor Motorsports Racing, with Mercedes-AMG junior Jordan Love to anchor the car at Spa and Indy.
