Van Gisbergen leads record Winton pace

Shane van Gisbergen and David Reynolds set Supercars record pace at Winton in Practice 2.

Van Gisbergen and Reynolds both undercut the previous Supercars practice/qualifying record set by Scott McLaughlin in 2019.

Reynolds held sway for much of the session before van Gisbergen went faster as the chequered flag flew.

All told, the margin between van Gisbergen, Reynolds and Chaz Mostert was 0.085s.

The session began in drama, with James Courtney and Anton De Pasquale making minor contact on the out-laps.

De Pasquale was also one of several drivers to run long at Turn 1 on the opening runs.

The likes of Brodie Kostecki, Andre Heimgartner and Macauley Jones also surfed through the Turn 1 outfield.

Lee Holdsworth jumped to the top early doors with a 1:18.652s, before Reynolds went even faster.

Reynolds, who was also on the pace in Practice 1, shaved 0.069s off McLaughlin's 2019 Supercars benchmark.

Drivers from the Red Bull Ampol Racing and Shell V-Power Racing Team camps found pace versus their Practice 1 efforts.

It was a similar story for Mostert, who ended the session just 0.085s off the pace.

However, it was series leader van Gisbergen who proved quickest of all at the death, albeit by 0.008s.

Van Gisbergen, who won on the Sunday in 2017, clocked a record 1:18.446s.

Reynolds, Mostert and Holdsworth occupied position two through four, with De Pasquale 0.212s down in fifth.

Cam Waters, Broc Feeney, Will Brown, Scott Pye and Will Davison occupied positions six through 10.

Cars will return for three-part ARMOR ALL Qualifying at 1:05pm local time.
