Anton De Pasquale topped qualifying at Sydney Motorsport Park as the likes of Cam Waters and Nick Percat missed out on a Top 10 Shootout berth.

"I made a mistake on my last run so it ended up being my first lap of the day that got me into the Shootout. Nick Percat was another surprise omission from the 10, the four-time race winner set to start the first race of his Walkinshaw return from 14th. The Dick Johnson Racing driver went fastest with a 1m29.759s on his first run, which initially left him four-tenths clear of the field.

Bathurst champion Chaz Mostert was also unable to find the right pace in the shootout and will start the race from P8. Van Gisbergen's teenage teammate Broc Feeney, racing for the first time as the replacement to retired seven-time champion Jamie Whincup, will start from 10th. Ford youngster Jake Kostecki had an eventful run in the earlier qualifying session, going off the track early and onto the slippery wet grass before then being handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Heimgartner later in the session -- the Tickford Racing driver will start from the back row. Ford's Tim Slade was the big mover in the shootout, having qualified for it eighth, he will start the race third on the grid after his 1:29.9475 lap. De Pasquale's teammate Will Davison made an error on his shootout lap, locking up his rear brakes in the middle sector and it proved costly as he ws just sixth fastest. Red Bull Ampol Racing's van Gisbergen will start from second on the grid for the 77-lap race under lights after his flying lap of 1:29.5504. "That was cool," the New Zealander told Fox Sports. "That was one of the best laps I've ever done round here, I even did a little fist bump, but Anton and Ludo's (Lacroix, De Pasquale's engineer) set-up -- they're just awesome here since Scotty (McLaughlin) days. Ford's Anton De Pasquale has begun the 2022 Supercars championship by sealing pole position for Saturday's 300km season-opening race at Sydney Motorsport Park. The Shell V-Power Racing star -- who recorded seven poles at the Eastern Creek-based circuit last year -- clocked a 1 minute 29.3599 second lap in Saturday's top 10 shootout to pip Holden rival Shane van Gisbergen to P1. "Good place to start the first race of the year," De Pasquale told Fox Sports. "We'll see how this 300km goes later tonight.

Driver discomfort forces Supercars Gen3 chassis changes (Motorsport.com, Edition: Global)

Following a flurry of outings at Queensland Raceway so far this year, the prototype testing phase for the next-gen Supercars is currently on hold.

“Both the Camaro and Mustang will return to the track for further testing at the NED Whisky Tasmania SuperSprint later this month." “These include changes to the drivers seating position and steering wheel placement based on feedback from initial testing of the prototypes by a range of different Supercars’ drivers. The initial delay in the testing programme was officially blamed on the cars needing to be fitted with a mechanical gear shift system, after plans for paddle shift and Auto Gear Shift were dumped.
