Chaz Mostert is on provisional pole for Race 33 of the Supercars Championship at the VALO Adelaide 500, while champion-elect Shane van Gisbergen will start last after a late off in qualifying.
Mostert’s flying lap is the fastest lap ever around the Adelaide Parklands Street Circuit in a Supercar, beating van Gisbergen’s record set in this morning’s practice and reclaiming his status as the fastest man in town.
“My qualifying run was just littered with mistakes,” admitted van Gisbergen. “The car was very hard to drive, and I was probably pushing a bit too hard and didn’t back it down enough.

“I probably should have accepted to try and get into the shootout rather than go all out and I’m pretty pissed off with myself right now. The car obviously wasn’t that great and was impossible to drive on the limit, but we’ll have a catch up with the engineering group tonight and hopefully make some changes before tomorrow’s final practice run.
“Tomorrow’s race is going to be tough, but we’ll try and get things right for Sunday.”
Crowd-favourite Mostert set the lap carrying the 1990 Holden Racing Team livery, with HRT winning the very first Adelaide 500 in 1999.
Shell V-Power Racing’s Anton De Pasquale and hometown hero Scott Pye rounded out the top three, with the ten fastest drivers from today’s session set to participate in the Top 10 Shootout tomorrow morning.
