Cameron Waters topped the timesheets with a 1:18.7884s for Tickford Racing, leading Allen to the tune of 0.0445s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made a big improvement in the car,\u201d said Allen, who set a 1:18.8329s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was pretty worried there when I was rolling out on the last set of greens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe needed to chase something, but the car seemed to hook up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s still more in my driving, I missed about three apexes on that lap just trying too hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to chill out, get the car a bit better and we should have a good qualifying result.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not far behind Allen was Broc Feeney for Triple Eight Race Engineering, 0.0596s away from Waters\u2019 benchmark.<\/p>\n

Tickford Racing\u2019s Thomas Randle was fourth, recovering from a spin early in the session that damaged the rear of the #55 Mustang.<\/p>\n

Anton De Pasquale briefly stood atop the timesheets for Team 18, ending up fifth in the #18 Camaro.<\/p>\n

The biggest storyline of Practice 2 was Chaz Mostert, who clipped the Turn 8 wall and damaged the left rear of the #25 Walkinshaw Andretti United Ford Mustang.<\/p>\n

Despite the hit, Mostert was able to return to the race track in the closing minutes to validate the repairs. He ended the session 20th on a 1:19.4369s, which was the fastest time midway through the 30-minute session.<\/p>\n

NASCAR Cup Series star Austin Cindric was 25th for Tickford Racing. He was unable to improve on his Practice 1 pace, clocking a 1:21.0072s.<\/p>\n

Cindric\u2019s session was headlined by a hit of the tyre bundle at the Senna Chicane, which badly damaged the front splitter.<\/p>\n

Waters was another to clip the tyre bundle at the first turn, and set the quickest time of the session despite some damage.<\/p>\n

Qualifying for Race 1 at the Adelaide Grand Final begins at 12:40pm ACDT.<\/p>\n

Results: Repco Supercars Championship BP Adelaide Grand Final, Practice 2<\/p>\n
