Mostert goes fastest in Supercars practice
Ford's Chaz Mostert has posted the fastest lap time in the opening practice session for this weekend's Supercars event on the Gold Coast.
The Prodrive Racing Australia driver clocked a one minute and 11.0597 second fastest lap in the first of three half-hour sessions at the 2.96km Surfers Paradise street circuit on Friday.
Mostert finished ahead of Nissan's Michael Caruso (1:11.1445) and defending series champion Shane Van Gisbergen (1:11.1754) to top the timesheets.
Ford's Scott McLaughlin clipped a tyre bundle early in the session before his co-driver Alex Premat steered their No.17 Falcon to the fifth-fastest time of the session.
