Did the Monaro and A9X tangle in the first dry practice? Was a sad sight when the Monaro came in on the flatdeck truck.

The puddle where the "new" track rejoins the old before the hairpin also caught out a few, including Grant Dalton. Fortunately all those that rotated there managed to avoid the wall and just had a harmless rotation across the infield grass.
