McLaughlin on top in Supercars practice

Ford star Scott McLaughlin has topped the time sheets in Friday's second Supercars practice session at the Adelaide 500.

The DJR Team Penske ace posted a last-gasp one minute and 20.3567 second-fastest lap in the 40-minute session.

He finished ahead of Holden's Shane Van Gisbergen (1:20.3896) and Nick Percat (1:20.4600).

"I was surprised to be where we were but I'm sure there's a lot more to come from people down the road," McLaughlin told Fox Sports.

Defending champion Jamie Whincup, who went fastest in the opening practice session of the day, made a mistake going into the final turn of his flying lap and could post only the 16th fastest lap of the second session.
