Behind the scenes: Sydney co-driver session

The Supercars action kicked off with the Additional Drivers session at Sydney Motorsport Park.

The 40-minute session was the year's first aimed at co-drivers ahead of the Repco Bathurst 1000.

Topped by teenager Matt Payne, full-time drivers watched their co-drivers complete crucial laps at the Eastern Creek venue. 

James Courtney and Will Brown also turned their hand to pit reporting during the session. 

Check out the best shots from the Additional Drivers session at the Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight.

The full-time drivers will return to the track for Practice 1 of the Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight at 7:45pm AEDT. Click here to view the race schedule.

Every session of the event will be broadcast live on Foxtel (Fox Sports 506) and streamed on Kayo.
