A season of many highs and lows, Gibbs will look make the most of the final 2 rounds of 2023 with solid results to secure his automatic transfer spot for the 2024 season.

We sat down for a chat with Robert Gibbs as he prepares for Road America in little under a weeks time.

R: Robert, it’s been a baptism of fire for you in the 2023 Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup. How have you found your season to date to be & have you performed as you’ve expected?

RG: My season so far has been very much an up and down one, started the season very poorly in the first 2 rounds not cracking into the top 20 at all. Have turned it around somewhat from Spa onwards, getting into the top 20 a couple of times and top 10 at Watkins which is where i think my true pace would put me. I think when i've stayed out of trouble my results have been in the ball park of what i was expecting going into the season but getting caught up in other people's mess has cost me quite a bit.

R: This season, you’ve shown pace capable of placing you at the front of the field on many occasions. How do you think you need to go about your racing to achieve consistency each and every week, enabling you to transition into a championship contender in the future?

RG: My biggest issue this season has been my lack of form in qualifying, constantly putting myself further back than i should be. This is probably then leading to pushing a bit too hard in certain moments and making mistakes. If i can get my head screwed on properly for qualifying and put myself up the front from the get-go, then the race results should follow, evidence being my results at Watkins Glen.

R: Evolution Racing Team have proven to be a major player in your development in the Supercars arena. Since your arrival to the team in 2022, it’s been clear that you have improved leaps and bounds in this discipline of racing. How have they contributed to your success, and why do you think they are so good at developing and improving drivers like yourself?

RG: Joining ERT has turned out to be a really great decision. The support from the team has been second to none since joining and the caliber of drivers that im now associated with is immensely talented. i think this just by itself is a large part as to why so many good drivers come out of ERT. Being able to compare data and setups with some of the fastest guys in supercars has been another huge aspect as to my own improvement as it gives you a completely different viewpoint as to what you might be doing right or wrong, and i think that for someone like myself, who is only 12 months or so into the supercars arena, this has been key.

R: Lastly, as you find yourself sitting on the bubble heading into the penultimate round at Road America, does it change how you approach the final 2 races?

RG: For me personally the approach doesn't change from the rest of the season. I'm still aiming to be as far up the front as possible and my position in the standings should then take care of itself. As always the goal is to win, which was my goal from the start of the season, but i think at this stage i would be happy with a couple of top 10's to finish the year. The remaining tracks are both ones that i enjoy and do well at so i see this as good opportunity to end the season on a high.
