Crash ends Practice 2, Robotham quickest

An incident brought second Dunlop Series practice in Adelaide to an early end, with Jaylyn Robotham topping the times.

Robotham clocked a 1:21.057s before Matt Chahda and Steven Page clashed.

Replays showed Chahda sending Page into the left-hand concrete exiting the Senna Chicane.

Page’s Super3 Commodore suffered major front-end damage.

He managed to get the car underway before spinning on his own fluid at Turn 5.

The clean-up began with eight minutes remaining, before the session was declared altogether.

It left Robotham as the pace-setter, with Super3 points leader Kai Allen an impressive second.

Chahda was later penalised over his role in the incident.

The Matt Chahda Motorsport driver was pinged to the tune of three grid spots for Saturday's race.

Drivers were unable to set representative times due to the stoppage.

Several key runners were unable to show their ultimate pace.

Matt Payne was third overall, with Declan Fraser one position ahead of teammate Cameron Hill.

Zak Best and Tyler Everingham were eighth and 12th of the Super2 runners.

Super2 rookie Lochie Dalton, subbing in for Elly Morrow at Brad Jones Racing, briefly led the times.

He ended up fourth on the Super2 time sheets.

The 40-minute Practice 2 was the final hit-out for drivers before Friday’s first qualifying session.

Dunlop Series drivers will tackle dual ARMOR ALL Qualifying sessions at 12:30pm and 4:40pm local time on Friday.
