Reynolds\u2019 time in the #20 Team 18 Chevrolet Camaro, a 1:19.5831s, was set on his fourth lap of the Adelaide Parklands Circuit.<\/p>\n

However, Waters beat it by just 0.0067s at the death with a 1:19.5764s in the #6 Tickford Racing Ford Mustang.<\/p>\n

Six drivers elected to put a second set of new soft tyres in the 30-minute session \u2013 including Waters, Brodie Kostecki, Thomas Randle, Will Davison, Cooper Murray, and Jaxon Evans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were pretty happy,\u201d said Waters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe car rolled out pretty good, we tried to learn some stuff, put a tyre on at the end and got a bit of traffic.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the car is pretty pacey, so a good start.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kostecki was third-best in the #38 Dick Johnson Racing Mustang. He was the only driver to graze the Turn 8 wall, stripping some of the paint from the left side of his car.<\/p>\n

Team 18 continued its rich run of speed with Anton De Pasquale fourth fastest in the #18 Camaro ahead of fifth-placed Thomas Randle in the #55 Tickford Mustang.<\/p>\n

Chaz Mostert was the best of the championship contenders in sixth, climbing up the order in the final few minutes of the half-hour session.<\/p>\n

Just behind the #25 Walkinshaw Andretti United Mustang was Will Brown in his #1 Triple Eight Race Engineering Camaro, a mere 0.0172s adrift.<\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s teammate Broc Feeney was 11th in the #88 Camaro, 0.5731s off the pace. Feeney was captured having a moment at Turn 7, cranking his car sideways over the top of the kerb and aborting his flying lap.<\/p>\n

There was a scary moment for Kai Allen in the closing minutes when he had to check up approaching Turn 1 as Andre Heimgartner came out of the pit lane. Allen ended the session 18th fastest and eight tenths off the pace.<\/p>\n

NASCAR star Austin Cindric was 23rd with a 1:20.7125s in the #5 Tickford Mustang to be 1.1361s off the quickest time.<\/p>\n

Practice 2 at the BP Adelaide Grand Final takes place on Friday at 10:30am ACDT.<\/p>\n

Results: Repco Supercars Championship BP Adelaide Grand Final, Practice 1<\/p>\n
