Falcons top the times

The Prodrive Racing Falcons have had a lash on new rubber in this morning’s Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 practice, with Chaz Mostert topping Mark Winterbottom in the dying minutes of the one-hour session.

The Supercheap Auto Racing Ford Falcon FG X driver set a best time of 2min05.3352 only minutes after his co-driver Steve Owen had nearly clattered into the concrete at The Dipper.

Harvey Norman Supergirl Simona de Silvestro fought back from yesterday’s exclusion from qualifying to set a 2:08.2816, more than 0.4 sec faster than her previous best time in the Nissan Altima she is sharing with Renee Gracie.

The practice session finished only minutes before rain arrived at Mount Panorama. The supercars are not on track again until late this afternoon for the shootout.
