Team Kiwi Racing looks set to take the start of the Bathurst 1000 after a massive rebuild programme on the #021 Ford.

“It's a bit of a tough one,” Pither said of the accusation, "I just didn't see any yellows until the one that was 100 metres from Paul's car and, at 200km/h, there was nothing I could do at that point. It's a bit of a knock for me, and it is something I have to cop, but maybe the position of the flag is something that needs to be looked at.”

There was also some late pre-race activity down at the sharp end of the field, as Ford Performance Racing was forced to change the electrics on its front-running #6 entry.

An team spokeswoman revealed that the Mark Winterbottom/Steven Richards car, which was due to start from the front row, had warned of a misfire during the warm-up, but confirmed that subsequent investigations had shown the blame lay with a faulty sensor.
