\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Rain\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBroc Feeney was among the victims of the conditions during the warm-up at The Bend. <\/p>\n

Several drivers explored the circuit\u2019s run-off. James Courtney was among the first to go off at Turn 1 in the Team 18 Chevrolet Camaro.<\/p>\n

Grove Racing\u2019s Tim Slade followed suit, making the gravel trap at the first turn.<\/p>\n

Tony D\u2019Alberto was a victim of the conditions, spinning the Dick Johnson Racing Ford Mustang out of Turn 1.<\/p>\n

Broc Feeney had two moments, the first at Turn 1 and the second at Turn 11 \u2013 the latter of which was more spectacular as he toured the gravel trap.<\/p>\n

The track got wet enough that teams elected to switch from slicks to wets, but that didn\u2019t stop the mayhem as Andre Heimgartner went off at Turn 1 in his Brad Jones Racing Toyota Supra.<\/p>\n

Jayden Ojeda speared his PremiAir Racing Camaro off at Turn 11 as the rain got heavier.<\/p>\n

Turn 1 was a hot spot for off-road excursions. Jackson Walls, Bayley Hall, and Ryan Wood all went off in the final five minutes.<\/p>\n

The best times were set during the start of the session before the rain came.<\/p>\n

James Golding was quickest in the Blanchard Racing Team Mustang he shares with Richie Stanaway. The sister car of Aaron Cameron\/Zak Best was second.<\/p>\n

The Ryan Wood\/Jaxon Evans Walkinshaw TWG Toyota Supra was third ahead of the Matt Payne\/Will Davison Grove Racing Mustang.<\/p>\n

The Zach Bates\/Aaron Seton Matt Stone Racing Camaro completed the top five.<\/p>\n
