Holden teams set the pace in Barbagallo Practice 2

In form Holden teams Red Bull Racing Australia, Brad Jones Racing and Fujitsu GRM have filled the top places in the first full field practice session of the day at Barbagallo.

Jamie Whincup proved just 0.0045s quicker than Fabian Coulthard, with the duo setting their best times in quick succession at the halfway mark of the 30 minute hit-out.

Coulthard had spent much of the opening 15 minutes in the pits after reporting an engine problem on his out lap.

The Lockwood Holden jumped immediately to the top upon returning to the track, although continued to operate without a working dash for the duration.

Practice 1 pace-setter Scott McLaughlin was third fastest from the BJR Holdens of Jason Bright and David Wall.

Will Davison, Alexandre Premat, Craig Lowndes, Alex Davison and Tony D’Alberto completed the top 10, with debutant Chaz Mostert a promising 11th.

As usual, the times were polluted by differing tyre quality, with both hard and soft compound pre-marked tyres allowed in the two set practice allocation.

Those towards the tail of the field included the three Walkinshaw Racing entries of James Courtney (23rd), Garth Tander (26th) and Russell Ingall (28th.

A third and final 30 minute practice session will take place from 1315 local time.
