Ford driver Will Davison has conquered challenging conditions to post the fastest time in opening practice at this weekend's Supercars event in New Zealand.
The Tickford Racing driver clocked a fastest lap of one minute and 02.4451 seconds at the 2.91km Pukekohe Park circuit on Friday in a half-hour session marred by showers.
Championship leader Scott McLaughlin, chasing a record 17th race win in 2019, was second-fastest in the session with hometown favourite Shane Van Gisbergen the quickest Holden in third.
The session started with rain hitting the track and was briefly red-flagged after Holden's Richie Stanaway clipped a wall after losing control of his Commodore coming into the main straight.
