Red Bull Racing Australia completed its sweep of the Friday sessions at Symmons Plains with Jamie Whincup leading a team one-two in Practice 3.
The five-time champion set the best time of the session with just under four minutes remaining.
His 51.33s proved 0.06s quicker than Craig Lowndes could manage in Practice 3, but 0.02s shy of the #888 Holden's Practice 2 best from earlier in the afternoon.
Lowndes had appeared set to eclipse Whincup in the final moments of Practice 3 before running off at Turn 6.
Chaz Mostert sat atop the Practice 3 order for much of the 20 minutes before falling to third in the closing stages.
Shane van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin, Nick Percat, Fabian Coulthard, Scott Pye, Lee Holdsworth and Todd Kelly completed the top 10.
The V8 Supercars will return to the track for back-to-back 10 minute qualifying sessions from 1130 tomorrow morning.
