Richie Stanaway topped the final dedicated co-driver practice session ahead of the Bathurst 1000.
The focus was on long runs for the co-drivers, which meant little in the way of Hollywood lap times. It also meant the quick times came early in the hour-long session, Stanaway setting the early pace with a 2m06.832s on his first run, which he then improved to a 2m06.048s before settling in to race runs. That early time would leave Stanaway and the #97 Red Bull Camaro a healthy four-tenths up on the rest of the field.
We're still quite far from that in terms of track evolution, so it's difficult to get a read and lock in a race set-up on Saturday morning. We'll keep chipping away at it.' Garth Tander was second-fastest for Grove Racing, pipping Zane Goddard in the Triple Eight wildcard entry. David Russell put the provisional pole-winning Erebus Camaro fourth fastest ahead of Matt Stone Racing pair Jayden Ojeda and Jaylyn Robotham.
