The 2022 LIQUI MOLY Bathurst 12 Hour grid is set, with Audis filling the front row.
Chaz Mostert scored pole position in the Pirelli Shootout on Saturday afternoon.
As it was in 2018, Mostert consigned Kelvin van der Linde to second.
Jules Gounon impressed and qualified the #75 SunEnergy1 Mercedes-AMG in third.
Gounon pipped highly-fancied Audi youngster Ricardo Feller to P3.
Shane van Gisbergen pushed his Triple Eight Mercedes-AMG to fifth for the race.
Van Gisbergen was in the first shootout grouping, and managed to make three spots from his qualifying effort.
The top 10 was determined by a modified shootout, which was split into two groups.
The five fastest cars in aggregate qualifying followed the second five fastest cars.
Both groupings set laps in 15-minute periods; through both periods, Mostert emerged the fastest.
Mostert scored his second Allan Simonsen Pole Trophy Award by just 0.085s.
It was the closest ever margin between first and second in a 12 Hour shootout.
Sunday's race will commence at the event's earliest start time of 5:15am local time.
