Wet-dry quandary for Bathurst 1000 field
Supercars drivers will be forced to qualify for the Bathurst 1000 in the dark over their car setups after rain returned to Mount Panorama.
Co-drivers enjoyed the chance to take their cars for a spin on a dry track earlier on Friday, when reigning champion Luke Youlden went fastest.
Yet the main-game drivers haven't enjoyed the same luxury.
Friday's final practice session was washed away, with several cars - including Jamie Whincup and other Commodores - choosing to stay in pit lane.
Nissans took out the top two spots, with Michael Caruso and Rick Kelly quickest.
The rain allowed Ford drivers to again jump up the timing charts, with five of the top 10 fastest.
