Casey Stoner can't wait to get his teeth into a longer V8 race when the Dunlop Series hits Bathurst Casey Stoner drives the #27 Red Bull Pirtek Holden during race two of round five of the Dunlop Development Series at Winton Motor Raceway on August 25, 2013 in Benalla, Australia. CASEY Stoner can't wait to get to Bathurst and stretch his legs in a longer V8 race. The dual world MotoGP champion, who twice charged through the Dunlop Series field on Sunday, has been frustrated throughout his rookie V8s campaign at the lack of track time he's had. And while the Red Bull Racing driver hasn't picked up a co-pilot's seat for Bathurst in October, Stoner can't wait for the longer race the second-tier category will get at Mount Panorama. I'm really looking forward to driving one of these cars around Bathurst. My last taste of it wasn't in as quite a good a machine as this, so I'm really looking forward to some high-speed corners, walls and things like that that really make your heart pump," Stoner said. Having had a little drive in a production car at Bathurst earlier in the year, I now know which way the track goes and the lumps and bumps and things like that. But braking points, gears, and everything like that is going to be completely different. We'll have to learn that, but it has given us a little bit more of an insight into what to expect. Stoner was sent to near the back of the grid for today's pair of races after being an innocent victim in a huge smash on Saturday. He improved to 22nd in race two, then charged from 31st on the grid to 16th in the third sprint. Today's races were a welcome change and I think we could've made up more positions if we weren't held up. There were a few guys running with some okay pace, so it was a bit more difficult to pass them," he said. I saw Steve Owen making some good passes which were a bit tricky and I just didn't quite have the confidence he had. We were still trying to get the car balanced throughout the race after yesterday's shunt. It was an okay result, but disappointing because we should be running further up the front. But number one, I've got to qualify well and number two I need to survive the first couple laps of a race without getting spun or crashed. It's making things tricky. Jack Perkins won the final race of the Dunlop Series weekend, but Dale Wood finished second to take the round victory and extend his series lead.
