Ford's Chaz Mostert has claimed provisional pole position for the Gold Coast 600's opening Supercars race on Saturday.
Mostert clocked one minute, 10.42 seconds to top the timesheets for the 20-minute qualifying session ahead of Holden's Shane van Gisbergen. Supercars series leader Scott McLaughlin was third fastest.
After battling to find speed in Friday's practice, McLaughlin again looked out of sorts despite setting the early qualifying pace.
Ford star McLaughlin held the top time for the majority of the session despite clipping the wall on both sides of his Mustang on the tough street circuit before Mostert came from the clouds to nab a last gasp provisional pole.
