CLIPSAL 500 – PRACTICE ONE

MARK KING has topped the first practice session for the 2015 ENZED Touring Car Masters season today at the Clipsal 500 Adelaide – though the results won’t show it.

The Queenslander took his No. 85 King Springs / Whiteline Racing Chevy Camaro to the quickest time of the first 20-minute session however what appeared to be excessive use of the kerbs through the turn one chicane on his fastest lap saw the time withdrawn by officials at the conclusion of the session – ultimately sending him to 6th place and elevating Bowe to the top spot in the opening session.

King’s teammate Andrew Miedecke ended the session second in his Lubrimaxx Camaro – just 0.2s from Bowe – with TCM returnee Glenn Seton third.

Tony Karanfilovski Cameron Tilley King Brett Youlden and Jason Gomersall completed the top-10.

The session ran without stoppages however was called 30-seconds early after Karanfilovski spun his Mustang at the final turn.

Miedecke and Gomersall also looped their respective cars on a clearly slick surface.

Practice continues later this afternoon at 3:35pm local time and will be broadcast on FOX Motorsports (Channel 506).
