Several teams used Tuesday’s running to hone in on set-ups with an eye on next weekend’s Winton SuperSprint.
Erebus Motorsport completed a rookie day for Will Brown and Brodie Kostecki, the former of which topped official pre-season testing at Winton in February.
The Winton SuperSprint remains a free-for-all with regards to form, with Dunlop to debut its Super Soft tyre compound next weekend.
