Championship leader Shane van Gisbergen has locked in ARMOR ALL Pole Position for this afternoon’s race at the Castrol Gold Coast 600.
The quick Kiwi held out yesterday’s other fast man Scott McLaughlin by 0.0297 seconds, setting up a Red Bull versus Volvo battle off the start with his 1min10.6544 lap.
Van Gisbergen shares with McLaughlin’s former teammate and co-driver Alex Premat this year through the endurance races, with David Wall in the #33 Volvo. Co-drivers traditionally start the races at the Gold Coast event.
Courtney and Craig Lowndes were 11th and 12th, with tough days for Brad Jones Racing’s Tim Slade and DJR Team Penske’s Fabian Coulthard in 22 and 23.
