Opening practice at the Truck Assist Winton SuperSprint will provide a preview of the PIRTEK Enduro Cup, with all cars set to take to the track with a part-time driver.
The bulk of the co-driving seats for the Bathurst, Gold Coast and Sandown enduros have already been filled.
They are headlined by the Red Bull Holden Racing Team’s all-star pair of Craig Lowndes and Garth Tander, who join Jamie Whincup and Shane van Gisbergen respectively.
Both will take to the wheel in the 30-minute additional driver practice, set to kick off at 9:20am, preceding the single primary driver practice before ARMOR ALL Qualifying.
Winton is hosting the second additional driver session of the season, with many having also taken part in the session at Symmons Plains last month.
Others having their first drives for the year include recently-confirmed Boost Mobile Racing pair Chris Pither and Richard Muscat, in Richie Stanaway and James Golding’s Commodores.
Kelly Racing is also fielding a full complement of drivers, including Dale Wood, who will today have his first run in a Nissan Altima since 2016.
MSR is yet to lock down a co-driver for Todd Hazelwood and has stressed that Heinrich has been put in to gain experience, rather than auditioning for the enduros.
