Aaron Seton set the pace in a Dunlop Super2 Series Practice session at Townsville which finished early due to a fast spin for a wing-less Josh Fife.
Red flags flew with just over five minutes of the scheduled 40 remaining after the #28 MW Motorsport Nissan Altima threw its rear wing plane off on Boundary Street (main straight).
Unsurprisingly, Fife swapped ends when he attempted to negotiate the Turn 1 kink, but he managed to stay away from the walls as he clamped on the brakes.
With the session not restarting, the #30 Matt Stone Racing VF Commodore of Seton was left at the top of the timing screen thanks to a 1:15.4875s, almost two tenths up on Triple Eight Race Engineering’s Broc Feeney.
The latter had kicked things off with a 1:16.4589s in the #888 VF Commodore, and followed it up with a 1:16.1609s and a 1:15.9907s before bringing his first run to an end.
Once Jordan Boys (#49 Image Racing VF Commodore) had set a representative lap time, he was second-fastest on a 1:16.1743s, before being usurped by Seton on a 1:16.0182s in the 11th minute.
Fife and Feeney traded fastest laps early on their second runs, the former going to a 1:15.9698s before the latter clocked a 1:15.7681s.
Fife hit back with a 1:15.7655s but the series leader once again quickly wrested top spot back, with a 1:15.6804s.
Despite the thin margin between #888 and #28, Seton split them on his third run with a 1:15.7516s, and stayed second with a 1:15.7187s on his following lap.

The third-generation driver overhauled Feeney next time onto the race track with a 1:15.4875s, just before the red flag which brought a premature end to the session.
Feeney, who dominated Round 2 in Townsville last weekend, was therefore second-best for the first time in seven sessions at the Reid Park Street Circuit, ahead off Fife, Boys, and Tyler Everingham (#27 MWM Nissan Altima).
Jack Perkins (#88 Eggleston Motorsport VF Commodore) ended up sixth, ahead of Jayden Ojeda (#31 MWM Nissan Altima), Angelo Mouzouris (#6 Triple Eight VF Commodore), Matt Chahda (#18 Matt Chahda Motorsport FGX Falcon), and Zak Best (#78 Tickford Racing FGX Falcon).
Nash Morris (#67 Flash Bush Motorsport FG Falcon) was fastest in the Super3 class in 17th outright, behind all the Super2 runners, on a 1:17.4235s.
For reference, the fastest practice lap last weekend was Feeney’s 1:14.6281s.
Qualifying for Race 1 of Round 3 starts this afternoon at 13:05 local time/AEST.
