Tim Blanchard has set the pace in the opening practice session for Round 2 of the Dunlop Series at Barbagallo Raceway
The Matthew White Motorsport driver lapped the 2.42km venue in a best time of 58.05s to end the session 0.08s quicker than second placed Chaz Mostert.
Scott McLaughlin made it three Falcon FGs in the top three spots, while Andrew Jones, David Russell, Nick Percat, Ashley Walsh, Geoff Emery, Scott Pye and George Miedecke rounded out the top 10.
The 40 minute session was held on a drying circuit following rain this morning.
Dale Wood caused the only red flag of the session when he spun his Greg Murphy Racing Commodore into the Turn 7 sand trap prior to the halfway mark.
A second practice session for the Dunlop Series will follow later today.
