1:01pm - 10 main field drivers and 15 co-drivers will start the race. Warm up lap in progress.
12:56pm - Weather forecasters should be fired .... blue sky is fighting its way through the grey clouds above and we may get a full dry race.
12:55pm - Michael Caruso will start Holdworth's No.55 Mustang and Warren Luff will start Chaz Mostert's WAU Holden. Anton De Pasquale will start car No.99 for Erebus Motorsport.
12:48pm - McLaughlin confirms he will start, but most of the other teams are going with co-drivers. Garth Tander looks set to start Shane van Gisbergen's No.97 Red Bull Holden. Warm up lap is in six minutes and that's when all wil be revealed.
12:40pm - Looks like Scott McLaughlin will start in the No.17 Mustang. Thomas Randle drove Nick Percat's Holden to the grid and Will Davison piloted the pole-sitting Mustang of Cam Waters to the grid. Will update as it becomes clear who will take the green flag.
12:37pm - Cars are heading out to the grid ..... the issues with James Courtney's car and Scott Pye's car have been fixed - at least on the surface, so they will both start.
12:23pm - Just a touch over 30mins till the green flag drops. The dark clouds hang above, but at this point the rain is staying away.
11:15am - We will be back for the build up to race start from 12:30pm.
10:53am - There were two loose wheel nuts on Courtney's Mustang - so no contact was made with another car or the wall.
10:51am - Session is over and Kiwi Andre Heimgartner was quickest from McLaughlin and Van Gisbergen, but everyone was taking it easy.
10:49am - Broc Feeney in James Courtney's Tickford Mustang has a wonkey right rear wheel - he hasn't hit the fence or another car but it is a concern. The changed the tyre and sent him back out but it's still an issue.
10:40am - Session is back underway.
10:34am - The engine on car No.20 gave up, so it should be a pretty simple fix for the team with two and a bit hours before race start.
10:31am - Drama for Dean Fiore on Scott Pye's No.20 Holden - he's stopped on Mountain Straight and the session has been red flagged - hopefully the issue isn't to severe and his team can repair the car.
10:30am - Cars heading out on course for the final warm up session - this is the most nervous session for the drivers as any type of heavy impact and your race is done before ity begins.
9:58am - The final 20min warm up session will run from 10:30-10:50, so hopefully everyone gets through that unscathed.
9:54am - The weather forecast has improved - the predicted thunderstorm came overnight and now the outlook for the race is much better with light showers likely.
