Feeney tops opening Supercars practice in Tasmania

Broc Feeney has fired a warning shot to Supercars title rivals with the quickest practice lap during the opening session in Tasmania.

Left smarting after a frustrating weekend in New Zealand, the Triple Eight young gun topped the timesheets with a lap of 51.311 seconds on Friday at Launceston’s Symmons Plains Raceway.

The 22-year-old was 0.0017 seconds faster than Team 18 driver David Reynolds, while championship leader Will Brown was 12th fastest.

Feeney dropped out of the top three in the series standings after failing to make the podium last round across the Tasman.

He is fourth behind Grove rival Matt Payne, who shot up the standings after winning two of the three sprints at Taupo International Motorsport Park.

Feeney’s teammate Brown holds a 34-point lead over second-placed Tickford driver Cam Waters.

Waters was 14th fastest, among many drivers on Friday who journeyed into the gravel after locking up on the infamous hairpin at turn four.

Drivers will return for the final practice session at 3pm (AEST) on Friday, ahead of Saturday’s back-to-back qualifying sessions.

Two 120km races will follow qualifying on Saturday.
