Brett Loxton has runs on the board and at times he has looked like breaking through for wins at the elite level. His impressive performance in V8SCOPS at Montreal 2019 was proof of what Brett is capable of when he gets himself to the front of the field.
In recent times, inconsistency has plagued his march forward but all the drivers know that on his day, Brett can beat anyone! A long time driver at KRF and subsequently HJR, the rebranded Team Jinx Shifters is a small but smart team. Brett is undoubtedly the lead driver there, and come enduro time, Brett and his team will certainly be amongst the thick of it.
Brett, we all know what you can do and what you’re capable of. Do you think we will see you run towards the front of the field in the inaugural Logitech Pro Invitational Supercars Series? And what is the one big thing that you think you need to be at the front consistently?
I think its possible but there is lots of talent in the field who are also capable of being at the front. The one thing I need is to have confidence in my car that it will do what I want it to do. I have recently figured out what I need/prefer from the car for race and more importantly for qualifying, which is something I've always lacked in recent years.
You have been invited to compete with Australia’s best Supercar drivers in the Inaugural season of this series. What does it mean for you and your team to be considered one of the best Australian Supercar sim racers?
Im very humbled to be considered to be one of the best with the large talent pool we now have in Australian Supercar sim racing. Its very cool for our team to be able to make the cut.
You have been with Team Jinx Shifters (formally Zuver Racing) since 2018, and you are clearly the team leader. You are widely known as being technically excellent with car setup. What is something you look for in your car that you require to work with your driving style? And how does working in a smaller team benefit you?
I try to find a balance in car setup that is reasonably neutral, ideally with little to no understeer. Working in a smaller team is easier for me to find what I want out of a setup. I find having 4 or 5 guys working together tends to produce better results. Also being in a smaller team provides a big drive for me to try my best to get the team the recognition they deserve.
You have been on iRacing since 2015, what is your proudest moment so far and why?
I don't know if I have a proudest moment but I have some memorable ones. One of the most memorable was qualifying p2 in SCOPS at Montreal.
Which drivers do you think will be ones to watch in this series and do you think we will see any surprise results?
I think there will be plenty of drivers to watch and I think there is potential to see a few surprise results and maybe even some with breakthrough wins.
What is it about the Supercar Pro Invitational that has you most excited this season?
I'm just excited to do some more Supercar racing with hard and fair racing.
