Wet strikes V8s at Phillip Island

Rain has struck Phillip Island ahead of the weekend’s V8 Supercars meet, slowing down Saturday’s practice session.

The wet conditions meant no driver came within a second of Scott McLaughlin’s new lap record set on a sunny Friday.

Reigning champion Mark Winterbottom was quickest, followed by the three Triple Eight cars.

Qualifying on Saturday begins at 1:30pm, with the 120km race starting at 4:30pm.
