The Canadian driver spent his four practice sessions to re-aquatinting himself with the art of changing gears with his left hand.
"It was a tough day, but there is a lot to learn; the track, the cars, using my left hand to shift, working on the seat, plus a lot going on today,” Jacques Villeneuve said.
"The Pepsi Max Crew are all working really hard. Right now is the hard bit, hopefully we will get better throughout the weekend. But racing here this weekend, coming here this weekend, is mainly to learn how things work out here. The Townsville track is quite fun, it's quite busy, you are doing something all the time. It's a tough track to get used to the car because there is no margin for error. That makes the first day of driving the car quite difficult but it's fun and I'm having a blast out there."
Jacques Villeneuve will be back in action on Saturday morning the qualifying session, at 10:30 am, local time.
