Tuesday's running is being conducted to aid teams which have been unable to test with their drivers due to border closures.
Teams have been focusing on endurance race programmes, with driver changes, co-driver laps and pit stop practice a priority over outright speed.
The #8 R&J Batteries Commodore of Nick Percat and Dale Wood clocked the most laps in the morning session.
The #8 Brad Jones Racing entry recorded 60 laps of the 3.93km circuit.
The four BJR cars logged the most laps in the three-and-a-half hour morning session.
The Macauley Jones/Chris Pither and Todd Hazelwood/Dean Fiore cars clocked 56 and 55 laps respectively.
Jack Smith and veteran David Wall, who was announced as Ash Walsh's replacement, clocked 43 laps.
Some teams, like Red Bull Ampol Racing and Team 18, have already used up their allocated test days.
