McLaughlin tops Ipswich Supercars practice

Supercars supremo Scott McLaughlin's dominance continued at the Ipswich SuperSprint as he posted a practice lap record at Queensland Raceway on Friday.

McLaughlin stopped the clock at one minute 8.8227 seconds but the Kiwi said he only nailed one of three sections on the track.

McLaughlin has dominated all season and leads the drivers' standings by 292 points ahead of his DJR Team Penske teammate Fabian Coulthard.

The duo have won 15 of 18 races in 2019 in their Ford Mustangs and McLaughlin said there was plenty more to come this weekend.

"This format makes you want to just get the (fastest) lap and get through, so I was probably a little bit safe today, there were a few things I probably could have pushed the barrel a bit more," McLaughlin said.
