"I've only got two 45 minute sessions to get to grips with the car before qualifying and am keen not to let the team down so it's vitally important that I do well from the moment I get into the car.
"The Vauxhall's are extremely competitive and I hope to do Phil Bennett justice in his absence," he added. "I want to thank Vauxhall, Triple Eight and the team's sponsors Egg Sport for putting their faith in me for the weekend."
