Just 0.0098s split the top two drivers at the end of the uninterrupted seconds Supercars practice session.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery proud of everyone at Shell V-Power Racing Team. It\u2019s a great start to our Tassie weekend,\u201d said Kostecki.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only practice, you don\u2019t win anything for practice, so we\u2019ll have to go into our debriefs this afternoon and hopefully tune up the #17 and see if we can hold on tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jayden Ojeda was a standout for PremiAir Racing. He led the Chevrolet Camaro contingent in third while Practice 1 pacesetter David Reynolds wound up fourth.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy car is pretty good,\u201d said Reynolds.<\/p>\n

\u201cRolled out the truck pretty much good balance. That\u2019s all the preparation from the boys at the workshop. They put everything into it and it\u2019s come good today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andre Heimgartner was the best of the Toyota Supra drivers for Brad Jones Racing, putting the #8 car fifth fastest ahead of Anton De Pasquale for Team 18.<\/p>\n

Walkinshaw TWG Racing duo Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood struck brake woes. Wood was eighth in the #2 while Mostert was ninth in the #25 car.<\/p>\n

Will Brown rounded out the top 10 as the leading Triple Eight Race Engineering entry while his teammate was only 15th.<\/p>\n

Triple Eight are the form team at Symmons Plains, though this year marks the first time since 2009 that they have brought a Ford package to the Apple Isle.<\/p>\n

Supercars resumes on Saturday with qualifying for Race 1 at 10:00am AEST.<\/p>\n
