Tension gripped the iconic Mount Panorama circuit as the qualifying session for the prestigious endurance classic heated up to the absolute limit. The paddock atmosphere erupted as a major shock unfolded on the challenging asphalt, demanding immense bravery and precision from every driver. Spectators packing the grandstands witnessed an extraordinary display of raw speed as young talents pushed their machines to the very edge in pursuit of the ultimate lap time.
First-year Supercars full-timer Zach Bates emerged as the standout star, shattering expectations to claim top spot. Piloting his machine with supreme confidence, he unleashed a sensational lap time of 2:03.9376s around Mount Panorama. This phenomenal effort broke Brodie Kostecki's previous Gen3-era benchmark of 2:04.0307s, marking a milestone achievement for a rookie during a high-stakes qualifying showdown.
The manufacturer's dominance was underlined as the pace-setter led a Chevrolet top three lockout at the head of the timesheets. Following closely behind was Anton De Pasquale, who secured second position for Team 18 with a stellar run. Meanwhile, Erebus Motorsport's charger rounded out the top three positions to complete a dominant lockout for the manufacturer in the dramatic session.
The battle throughout the top ten remained fiercely competitive under immense pressure across the demanding mountain sections. William Brown carved out fourth place for Triple Eight Race Engineering in a Ford Mustang GT, closely tracked by the previous record holder. Technical battles involving tire grip, aerodynamic setups, and precise track positioning played a decisive role for engineers and drivers alike.
This surprising qualifying result sets the stage for an unpredictable and thrilling main race at the mountain. With razor-thin margins separating the front-runners, Sunday's endurance battle promises relentless wheel-to-wheel action from the moment the lights go out.
