Supercars: Series-leading Erebus have claimed the opening two practice sessions in a promising early sign for their hopes of a historic breakthrough at the Bathurst 1000.
Erebus tops two Bathurst practice rounds | 03:46David Russell completed a Thursday practice sweep for Erebus last night, setting the pace with foreboding ease yesterday evening.
Will Brown had topped first practice earlier in the day in the sister Erebus machine, guaranteeing the championship-leading team top spot after the vagey opening salvos of the Bathurst 1000’s 60th anniversary. Third practice starts at 10:00am this morning, followed by the day’s final hour of free track time at 1:05pm before qualifying at 4:15pm.
Tander was clearly experimenting with the limits of his car’s abilities, having almost suffered an enormous crash at the top of the mountain before going on to set his quickest time, albeit more than half a second off top spot.“I think there are a few of a particular branded car that are running very, very heavy at the moment,” he said, accusing some of the regular Chevrolet frontrunners of hiding their true pace.
