Sandown 500 Results: Will Brown Dominates the Wet Qualifying Shootout

Sandown 500 Results Overview

Will Brown secured his second Supercars pole position of the season in a wet and wild qualifying for the Sandown 500. With the day interrupted by rain and squally weather, Brown came out on top in the top 10 shootout - a time of 1m10.2549s in the Triple Eight Chevrolet Camaro he will share with Scott Pye in Sunday's race, bettering Tickford Racing's Cam Waters, who shares with James Moffat.

“I knew it would just be who didn't stuff up out there,” said Brown. “Great start, absolutely stoked. It was tough, between [turns] one and two there was a lot of water on the road. I knew Chaz [Mostert] would be hard to beat and also Broc [Feeney], it is a really cool feeling.”

Challenging Conditions Affecting Competitors

Waters looked like taking the fastest time until he ran wide at the final corner, losing 0.2s in the process. “It was a bit of a lucky dip really,” he explained. “There were rivers and dirt on the track that we had to work out on the fly. I am pretty happy where we are in a dry car; in a wet car, we are OK.”
