Cameron Waters has made a strong start to his bid for the 2015 Dunlop Series crown, topping both practice sessions at the Clipsal 500 Adelaide.
The Prodrive Ford ended the second session over a second clear of the field, setting a best of 1:22.10s on his flying final lap.
MW Motorsport’s Chris Pither was second fastest in Practice 2 from Taz Douglas, who has stepped aboard one of THR Developments’ ex-Kelly Racing Holdens this weekend.
Reigning series winner Paul Dumbrell was demoted to fourth in the closing stages ahead of Jack Le Brocq, Josh Kean, Paul Morris, Andrew Jones, Todd Hazelwood and Brett Hobson.
Hobson had been the cause of the session’s only red flag, spinning in an incident with Aaron McGill at Turn 4 with 10 of the 30 minutes remaining.
McGill’s Holden suffered rear-end damage in the incident, which left Hobson’s entry stranded on the circuit.
The red flags had to be called early in the opening session when debutant Jamie Sharp crashed heavily in the Senna Chicane.
The Dunlop Series field will return to the circuit for a two-part qualifying session later this afternoon.
