A two-part morning qualifying session set the contenders for a Top 10 Shootout, while locking in grid positions 11 through 25.<\/p>\n

Mostert was 22nd when the chequered flag fell on Q1 \u2013 but his final flyer proved enough to vault into fourth and progress to Q2.<\/p>\n

When the second segment started, however, the #25 Mustang remained in the pits with its engine failing to fire.<\/p>\n

The team was able to start it with a jump battery and charge the battery with the alternator, before fulfilling the requirement that cars must be able to start under their own power.<\/p>\n

However, that left Mostert with just one run in Q2. He initially went P4 but quickly slid outside the top 10 and was unable to improve on his second lap.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt cost me a run to build into it and I had to put it all on the line [in the second run],\u201d he said of the engine problem. \u201cIt costs you everything. I\u2019ve got nothing else to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teammate Ryan Wood topped both segments, ending Q2 ahead of two of Mostert\u2019s title rivals Kai Allen and Broc Feeney.<\/p>\n

Aaron Cameron, Anton De Pasquale, Will Brown, Matt Payne, Thomas Randle, Cooper Murray and Brodie Kostecki also booked Shootout slots.<\/p>\n

A Shootout berth was a great result for Randle following his heavy hit at Turn 8 in the Friday race. The driver survived another scare at the sweeper when he tagged the concrete in Q1.<\/p>\n

Three big names were eliminated in Q1 \u2013 David Reynolds, Andre Heimgartner and Cam Waters set to start today\u2019s race 19th through 21st.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe car was out of the window,\u201d said Waters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what we missed so badly then, but obviously a very different car to what we had in practice. It wouldn\u2019t turn, wouldn\u2019t get out, wouldn\u2019t do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reynolds, by contrast, was happy with his car but felt his downfall was a matter of timing.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably missed out on the timing a little bit, probably needed to get that second lap,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe track is really dirty, there was shit everywhere and it just got better and better. You kind of needed two laps out there on the last set.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaxon Evans, Will Davison and James Golding filled the next three spots as all 24 regular entries qualified within a second of Wood\u2019s pacesetting Q1 time.<\/p>\n

American wildcard Austin Cindric was at the foot of the order, a hefty 0.7s further adrift of Golding.<\/p>\n
