De Pasquale tops Phillip Island practice

The Mustangs are poised to roar on Phillip Island, with the Ford fleet easing through the first Supercars practice session of the weekend.

While Anton de Pasquale topped the timing charts in his Commodore, series leader Scott McLaughlin appeared relaxed and comfortable on the Island, where he holds an intimidating record.

McLaughlin has taken the last seven pole positions at the Victorian track, winning six races for both Garry Rogers Motorsport and DJR Team Penske since 2014.

The 25-year-old series leader nursed his Mustang around the circuit on Friday, leading the field for most of practice before de Pasquale took over.
