Russell Ingall tops a wet, red flag-filled opening V8 Supercars practice for the Winton 360 Russell Ingall in action. COLD and damp conditions made for a tricky opening V8 Supercars practice session ahead of this weekend's Winton 360, the session screeching to a halt several times thanks to spins. V8 veteran Russell Ingall emerged from the gloom the fastest with a 1m34.0278s lap, some 12 seconds off lap record pace. The Supercheap Auto Racing Commodore pilot fended off late challenges from Red Bull's Craig Lowndes and Norton Nissan pilot Michael Caruso. Ingall led the times when the chequered flag came out to end the session before Lowndes knocked him off with his final lap, Ingall responding with an even quicker effort. Scroll down to see the full list of times from the session Overnight and early morning rain left the track slippery and the outfield muddy, leaving spinning cars bogged and stranded. In all, the red flag had to come out five times to rescue stuck cars, including the No.22 Holden Racing Team Commodore of James Courtney. Times began to plummet in the closing minutes of the session as a dry line began to appear. Brad Jones Racing's Fabian Coulthard initially led the way, benefitting from his team's home-track knowledge, before being bested by last-start winner Chaz Mostert. The 21-year-old rookie jumped his Ford Falcon to the top of the timesheets with six minutes to go, only to be knocked off by Ingall, then Holden Racing Team leader Garth Tander. With three seconds left on the clock, Mostert returned to P1 with a 1m34.3656, before Ingall again reclaimed the point by a scant one-hundredth of a second, fending off the late fliers to top the session. Birthday boy Greg Murphy was fastest of the endurance co-drivers in the split session. The Holden Racing Team pilot celebrated turning 40 by logging a 1m36.22s lap in Courtney's Holden, heading Red Bull's Warren Luff in Lowndes's mount and Andrew Jones in Jason Bright's Team BOC Commodore.
