Supercars star Shane Van Gisbergen hopes his hometown track in New Zealand on Sunday can avoid a repeat of the wet weather drama which forced Saturday's qualifying session to be abandoned.
The back straight at Pukekohe Park Raceway was essentially undriveable for the Supercars field after persistent rain on Saturday morning, forcing qualifying to be called off with less than two minutes of the 20-minute session completed.
The wet weather threatened to cause a delay or even a cancellation of Saturday's 70-lap race, but a break in the weather in the afternoon allowed the event to continue as scheduled.
