Bathurst 1000 daily: Friday

It was a day of more politics and a qualifying shock at Mount Panorama – we unpack it all in the Friday edition of our daily podcast.

Zach Bates scorched to a sensational and surprising provisional pole for the Bathurst 1000 with the first ever sub-2m04s lap of the Gen3 era.

And, for the second day running, where were the Toyotas?

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus delve into it all in the Friday daily podcast.
