The 26-year old from Toowoomba is in prime position, sitting on provisional pole after yesterday’s bizarre Boost Mobile Qualifying session.
Three cars made significant impact with the barriers at the infamous Turn 8 just a few minutes into Friday qualifying yesterday. With Richie Stanaway’s heavy slap followed immediately by monstrous crashes from Cameron Hill and David Reynolds.
Oddly, all three incidents were unrelated to each other, and all happened in the space of less than a minute. All drivers were uninjured in their respective incidents, but the chances of Hill and Reynolds’ smashed machines being able to race today remains to be seen.
