Overview

  • Brodie Kostecki set a 2:04.0307 to secure provisional pole ahead of Broc Feeney by 0.0064, with the Top 10 Shootout to set the final grid for the front rows.
  • Triple Eight reported Broc Feeney is managing a sore back and Will Brown a rolled left ankle, with Brown qualifying 12th to miss the Shootout and Feeney locking in second.
  • Feeney topped Friday Practice 3 with a 2:04.9763, while Chaz Mostert rebounded from a Thursday crash to lead Practice 4 after Walkinshaw Andretti United completed repairs.
  • Practice running featured multiple incidents and repairs, including Mostert’s wall strike at Griffins Bend and Team 18’s overnight rebuild after Harri Jones’ crash, with further wall contacts for Anton De Pasquale and Macauley Jones.
  • Rain disrupted Thursday’s co-driver session and remains in the race forecast, with Scott Pye cautioning that light drizzle on slick tyres feels like ice as teams fine-tune wet and dry setups.
