The test so far
Early stoppages
The first hour was interrupted by a red flag, called for gravel debris at the final corner. At that stage, only the Toyotas of Ryan Wood and Cameron Hill hadn't set a lap time. Nearing the two hour mark, more gravel was kicked up, triggering another stoppage, before a third was called half an hour later.
Brown leads early
The fastest driver in the 2025 test, Will Brown picked up where he left off by setting the quickest time through the opening hour of the Wednesday test. Brown took top spot away from Blanchard Racing Team recruit James Golding.
Payne quick, Golding flies
Matt Payne emerged on top of the time sheets through the opening hours, with red flags flying and rookies showing early promise. Bathurst champ Payne took over the top spot from Brown, while Golding flew through the short circuit section.
Brown back on top
Just before the session halted for practice starts, which preceded a 60-minute final run home, Brown vaulted back to the top. The #888 Ford clocked a 1:00.3458s, taking over from Payne to the tune of 0.16s. The #888 remained at the top as the final hour wound down.
