De Pasquale Takes Rain-Hit Sydney 500 Pole, Feeney Sets Early Pace

A late shower flipped the Top 10 Shootout after James Golding’s lap record, reshaping the grid for tonight’s second race.

Overview

  • Anton De Pasquale secured pole for Race 2 with a 1:28.0180 before the rain arrived, while provisional polesitter James Golding slid to 10th and Broc Feeney to ninth.
  • Brodie Kostecki will start second ahead of Matthew Payne and Ryan Wood, with Aaron Cameron fifth, followed by Cameron Waters, Thomas Randle and Zach Bates.
  • Earlier on Saturday, Golding reset the qualifying benchmark with a 1:27.8529 to top Q2 as teams juggled intermittent drizzle and timing on new tyres.
  • Feeney won Friday’s opener with an undercut on Cameron, delivering Triple Eight a strong start to its Ford switch as Fords locked out the top five.
  • Defending champion Chaz Mostert’s tough adaptation to the new Toyota Supra continued, qualifying 22nd for Race 2 after finishing 15th in the first race.
