It was an exciting qualifying session. 40 minutes long, which is double the usual session. The track was dry, so normal slick tyres were back in play, and the lap times came down real quick. It ended with Garth Tander from HRT on provisional pole (decided tomorrow after the top 10 shootout), with Mark Winterbottom in the FPR Falcon .05 of a second behind him (so close!) - Mark's final lap was beauty and it was exciting to watch, hoping that he would take the top spot.
The final lap also saw Jason Bargwanna hit the wall quite hard. Looks like a lot of work for the mechanics to do to get his car back on the track tomorrow.
It's also not Bathurst without some controversy. It seems Lee Holdsworth, who qualified 8th, has been pushed back 5 places as a penalty for not going to the weigh area when told. This brings Will Davidson from FPR into the top 10 for the Shootout tomorrow.
Ahhh I love it!
