Bathurst 1000: Kostecki fastest in crash-affected qualifying
During the qualifying session, the driver for Erebus performed exceptionally well, securing provisional pole position by more than a tenth of a second with a quick time of 2m04.664s. As a result, he will run last in the Top 10 Shootout tomorrow evening, which will determine the starting grid for the first five rows. On the other hand, Kostecki’s main competitor for the title, Shane van Gisbergen, had a difficult session and only managed to secure seventh place on his final lap, saving his chances for the Shootout. Brown, however, had a challenging session and missed out on the Shootout entirely after hitting the turn 2 tyre wall. Fortunately, his crew was able to repair the car in time for the restart, and he will start the race from 17th place. The qualifying session was eventful, with multiple red flags and impressive lap times from various drivers. The Bathurst 1000 continues with more practice sessions tomorrow before the Top 10 Shootout in the evening.
