Brodie Kostecki gapped the Supercars field by a whopping six-tenths in the final pre-qualifying practice session for the Bathurst 1000.
Unlike the previous three sessions, there was no early burst of speed as tricky track conditions left Will Brown's 2m06.010s as the early benchmark. That was partly thanks to series leader, and Erebus teammate, Brodie Kostecki running off the road at The Chase on his first run. Kostecki had another crack at a time on the 20-minute mark, a cleaner effort yielding a 2m05.617s to go fastest.
He put a remarkable six-tenths of a second on the field on his final run, a 2m05.121s the fastest lap of the weekend so far. Pye was best of the rest in second ahead of Mostert and Waters. An in-form Matt Payne was the only other driver within seven-tenths of Kostecki, improving twice on his final run to drop into fifth. Anton De Pasquale was sixth fastest ahead of James Golding, Thomas Randle, Broc Feeney and Jack Le Brocq.
