Drivers will have two practice sessions to iron out any cracks before Saturday’s top ten shootout at Mount Panorama, which gets underway at 5.05pm AEDT.
On Friday afternoon, Matt Payne secured provisional pole after topping a pulsating qualifying session.
It was an incredibly tight battle as Payne finished just 0.006 seconds ahead of Cam Waters and 0.011 from Broc Feeney in a session that produced two brutal crashes.
