Team Sydney, which is currently based at Yatala and revealed its new liveries on Thursday, is also present.
To the end of the first hour, MSR young gun Zane Goddard was top of the tree with a 1:09.0257s, a mere 0.0147s ahead of teammate Jake Kostecki.
DJR’s new driver line-up, Anton De Pasquale and Will Davison, have already turned laps.
De Pasquale set the early running of the DJR duo, firing in a 1:09.1232s to the end of the opening hour.

Van Gisbergen's Bathurst-winning co-driver Garth Tander took over the car ahead of the second hour.
New Team Sydney duo Fabian Coulthard and Garry Jacobson are also on track.
