Qualifying Results - The Bend 500 @ Shell V-Power Motorsport Park

Kostecki/Hazelwood: P3
Davison/D'Alberto: P21

The story of the day:

It was a frantic Saturday at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park, with two quick-fire practice sessions, before a qualifying blast around the 4.95km circuit.

For the #38 Shell V-Power Mustang, Kostecki expertly steered his machine to provisional pole - showcasing the strong one lap pace.

That speed saw Kostecki last on track for the Top 10 Shootout, where on a cool track, Kostecki put in a strong showing to finish 3rd for the session and lock in a second-row start on Sunday.

It was a different and unfortunate story for the #17 Shell V-Power Mustang. A loose wheel in pit lane costing Davison valuable time as he prepared to set his qualifying time. That loose wheel would leave him stuck at the end of the lane until the wheel could be replaced, impacting his qualifying run.

When the #17 Shell V-Power Mustang got back on track, Davison was able to steer his car into P21.

Despite the challenges, with 500km of racing to come on Sunday anything is possible for the experienced pair in Davison and D'Alberto.
