Will Brown concedes the Triple Eight team must go back to the drawing board after the crew sank to a historic low in a train-wreck weekend at the Townsville 500.

Brown and teammate Broc Feeney didn't make the podium for a fifth consecutive time in Sunday's final race at the Reid Park Street Circuit, something that hadn't happened to the Triple Eight Engineering team since 2007.
