Whincup in strife as Pye tops last Bathurst co-driver practice
Jamie Whincup spun at Hell Corner during Practice 5 of the Repco Bathurst 1000.

Pye completed 25 laps of The Mountain, setting a session-best 2:05.6647s on his 24th lap.

Whincup was 0.0442s in an eventful session for the seven-time champion, who spun at Hell Corner a third of the way into the 60-minute session.

The #88 Triple Eight Race Engineering Chevrolet Camaro spun before parking backwards in the gravel trap.

Whincup found himself in more strife with an investigation pending over a potential red flag procedure infringement.

Whincup also takes a trip to the beach at Turn 1 🚩
