Ford quickest at second Bathurst practice

Ford driver James Moffat has emerged fastest in the co-drivers' practice session at the Bathurst 1000 after Mount Panorama claimed yet more scalps.

Moffat - co-driver for former Bathurst champion Chaz Mostert - topped the time sheets with a lap of two minutes, 05.66 seconds.

Series leader Scott McLaughlin's teammate Alex Premat was second fastest ahead of Ford gun Fabian Coulthard's co-driver Tony D'Alberto.

Seven-time Bathurst champion Craig Lowndes made an encouraging return to the track after retiring from full-time driving last year, clocking the eighth fastest time in the one hour session as Jamie Whincup's co-driver.
