Supercars makes late Bathurst practice tweak

Changes to this year's timetable included splitting the traditional hour-long Saturday practice into two 30-minute sessions, an early one for primary drivers and a later one restricted to co-drivers.

However based on the response from teams, Supercars has opted to open the seventh and final session to all drivers.

The decision means primary drivers qualified for the Top 10 Shootout will have the opportunity for a final hit-out before the single-lap dash, rather than being restricted to the 9:40am session.

It will also be a 'hot' session, with crews able to practice pitstops and driver changes.
