Supercars: De Pasquale and Mostert quickest in practice

The 2022 Repco Supercars Championship is underway and two of the sport’s rising stars have claimed the quickest times in opening practice at the Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight.

Anton De Pasquale topped practice in the opening session of the year, in drying conditions at Sydney Motorsport Park, before Repco Bathurst 1000 winner Chaz Mostert was quickest in the second and final practice session of the day.

Mostert was impossible to miss with blue hair, but when the helmet was on the two-time Bathurst Champion managed the slippery conditions best in the final practice before tomorrow’s opening race.

In P2, Mostert beat other rising stars, Cam Waters and Will Brown to the post with the quickest lap time.

Earlier today in opening practice, Shell Ford Mustang driver De Pasquale was quickest on the same circuit he won five races on in 2021.

The second practice session didn’t bode as well for De Pasquale, who triggered a red flag for spinning off the circuit at high speed. He managed to avoid major damage and will line up for tomorrow’s qualifying session which begins at 2:45pm local time.

Defending Supercars’ Champion Shane van Gisbergen was sixth in P2 following his 16th placing in P1 earlier in the day.

Other drivers to shine in practice were the Team 18 duo of Mark Winterbottom and Scott Pye who were second and fourth in respective sessions.
