Ford's Chaz Mostert has posted the fastest lap time in the opening practice session for this weekend's Supercars event on the Gold Coast.
The Prodrive Racing Australia driver clocked a one minute and 11.0597 second fastest lap in the first of three half-hour sessions at the 2.96km Surfers Paradise street circuit on Friday.
Mostert finished ahead of Nissan's Michael Caruso (1:11.1445) and defending series champion Shane Van Gisbergen (1:11.1754) to top the timesheets.
Ford's Scott McLaughlin clipped a tyre bundle early in the session before his co-driver Alex Premat steered their No.17 Falcon to the fifth-fastest time of the session.
