Feeney tops opening Supercars practice in Tasmania
Broc Feeney has fired a warning shot to Supercars title rivals with the quickest practice lap during the opening session in Tasmania.
Left smarting after a frustrating weekend in New Zealand, the Triple Eight young gun topped the timesheets with a lap of 51.311 seconds on Friday at Launceston's Symmons Plains Raceway.
The 22-year-old was 0.0017 seconds faster than Team 18 driver David Reynolds, while championship leader Will Brown was 12th fastest.
Feeney dropped out of the top three in the series standings after failing to make the podium last round across the Tasman.
He is fourth behind Grove rival Matt Payne, who shot up the standings after winning two of the three sprints at Taupo International Motorsport Park.
Feeney's teammate Brown holds a 34-point lead over second-placed Tickford driver Cam Waters.
Waters was 14th fastest, among many drivers on Friday who journeyed into the gravel after locking up on the infamous hairpin at turn four.

Practice makes perfect as Payne pips Supercars rivals
Supercars youngster Matt Payne saved his best for last to top the final practice session in Perth. The Grove Racing driver set a lap time of 54.390 seconds in a last-gasp effort to top the time sheet at Wanneroo Raceway on Friday. He pipped Team 18's Anton De Pasquale by 0.085 seconds with the final lap of the 30-minute session. Payne will be looking to back up his race win in Tasmania, having moved into third in the series after denying championship leader Broc Feeney by 0.0550 seconds in the final sprint. "We've made huge gains with our car," Payne said. "Last year we were just too inconsistent to be fighting for the championship. "We've really tried to, coming into this week, up the prep and just make sure we're across everything." Thomas Randle, rewarded by Tickford with a two-year deal earlier in the week, was third fastest. Randle is still chasing his first career win, having joined Supercars full-time in 2022. "When will that happen? Hopefully, this weekend," Randle said. The red flag was brought out after 13 minutes on Friday when Tickford wildcard Lochie Dalton got stuck in the gravel at the first turn. Dalton's Mustang nearly rolled on to its side when the Super2 driver locked his rears going into turn one. He avoided any damage and was able to rejoin the fray. Brad Jones Racing's Jaxon Evans was fastest in the opening practice session, clocking 55.086 seconds after putting on new soft tyres. He was 0.359 seconds quicker than fellow sophomore driver Ryan Wood, with Feeney third fastest. Rookies and drivers in their second year are allotted an extra set of tyres for practice, allowing Evans to post his time. Evans will be out to continue his rise after posting his career-best qualifying result in Tasmania, starting seventh in the final sprint race. "It's really nice to finish the session on top. It's the first time I've done it in Supercars," Evans said. Triple Eight ace Feeney is out to extend his 33-point lead over reigning champion Will Brown, eyeing a clean sweep of the three sprint races in Perth. Meanwhile, Walkinshaw Andretti United's Wood will hope to break through for a maiden career win after finishing on the podium for the first time in New Zealand. Drivers return to the track for back-to-back qualifying sessions at 11.45am (AEST) on Saturday before Race 14 of the season at 2.55pm.

A council proposed a Tesla factory. It got a torrent of anti-Musk abuse
When friends Neon and Zane started a campaign to stop Tesla from building a battery recycling factory on a small block in their local area, they suspected that strong views about the company's billionaire boss might help sway local opinion. But they had no idea how much, or how far, anti-Elon Musk sentiment had spread beyond the epicenter of his influence in the United States, where until recently he caused chaos in federal workplaces as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Neon and Zane, who asked to use aliases to avoid doxxing by Musk supporters, say the main aim of their campaign, 'Trees Not Teslas,' was to preserve about 60 trees on the site, in Tonsley, an area south of Adelaide, Australia's driest state capital. 'We're struggling for designated green spaces … and it's just an insult to try and take away the one bit that's left within the Tonsley area,' said Neon, who used to live near the site and still works in the vicinity. When the local council published the results of its community consultation on the proposal, which allows the land to be sold for redevelopment, it contained hundreds of inflammatory anti-Musk comments or outright slurs. A search showed 229 references to 'Nazi,' 'Nazism' or other, similar phrases, to give an indication of the tone. With his high profile, confrontational statements and postings on social media, Musk has become a lightning rod for people across America and around the world opposed to the policies of US President Donald Trump's administration. The Tesla CEO is now engaged in a very public bust-up with Trump, that's unfolding in real-time on rival social media platforms, watched by a global audience. Musk's former close partnership with Trump took a toll on Tesla sales. Global deliveries plunged 13% in the first three months of this year, the largest drop in its history, as backlash against Musk and growing competition took a bite out of demand for its vehicles. Of the proposed factory in Tonsley, a suburb managed by the Marion Council, one comment from the public consultation said: 'You and I both know it's getting torched every few months because of the Nazi implications. You really want that bought (sic) up every single meeting?' Some respondents referred directly to the arm gesture Musk gave in January at Trump's post-inauguration rally that commentators likened to a fascist salute. At the time, Musk wrote on his social media platform X: 'The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired.' But the memory appeared to stick with Tonsley residents and a staggering 95% of over 900 replies to the council survey rejected its plans to prepare the land for sale. However, Marion Council passed it anyway and sent it to the state government for approval. CNN has reached out to Tesla for comment. It may seem unusual that residents in a small Australian city might have issues with Musk, given their distance from his policies and decisions. And it's especially unusual given South Australia's past positive experience with the billionaire entrepreneur. In 2017, Musk offered to build the world's most powerful battery to solve some of the state's power woes within 100 days, or it would be free. And he did. South Australia is now leading the country in terms of renewable energy and is on track to hit its target of 100% net renewables by 2027. Backed by the state government, Tesla and a local power company have created a virtual power plant fitting Powerwall battery systems on homes across the state. The idea is that all the batteries would band together to support the grid in times of high demand. However, the proposed Tesla plant in Marion would not generate any power – it would be used to recycle Tesla batteries and provide a showroom for Tesla's electric vehicles (EV), sales of which have fallen in Australia. Figures from the Electric Vehicle Council show Tesla sales nationwide nearly halved in the year to May 2025. Felipe Munoz, senior analyst at auto market research firm JATO Dynamics, says that's partly due to the wait for the Model Y. It finally arrived in Australia in May, sending Tesla sales soaring 122% last month compared with the same period a year ago. Marion Council Mayor Kris Hanna says anti-Musk sentiment had intruded on a standard council consultation, which was simply about finding a use for contaminated land 'that will probably never be a recreational space again.' The site is contaminated by trichloroethylene, known as TCE, a solvent that can cause cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is banned in the United States. 'The problem with that is, not only, for example, children playing in the dirt, but also the fumes which can rise up from underneath the earth. Sealing it with a bitumen car park or a building is a solution,' said Hanna. The site has been fenced off from the public since 2016. The locals say that, even if they can't use it, the mature trees offer a refuge for birdlife in an area almost devoid of tree canopy. More importantly, according to the Conservation Council of South Australia, the mature trees are helping to contain the contamination. 'The removal of trees puts that site at greater risk of the leakage of those contaminants into the groundwater and obviously then impacting on human health more broadly,' said Kirsty Bevan, the group's CEO, who added Tesla's promises to plant 59 saplings on the site weren't good enough. 'We are proposing that further research needs to be undertaken at that site, and remedial measures need to be put in place,' she said. 'I think that the site improvements we're looking for would come with a forest of trees.' Of the anti-Musk campaign, Bevan said: 'I don't let my personal opinions of people I've never met before interfere with being a voice for nature.' Hanna, the mayor, said councilors heard the opposition but voted 8-3 to pass the proposal because it would create 100 jobs, a 'huge number' for the area. A new business would also pay local taxes, easing the burden on residents during a cost-of-living crisis, Hanna said. 'To have a substantial new factory come into the area is very significant, and it's adjacent to a high-tech manufacturing area, which we developed in the place of an old car plant. So, it actually fits in very well to have a factory that recycles electric batteries,' Hanna said. One of the dissenting councilors, Sarah Luscombe, said she voted against the proposal because the community had sent clear and consistent feedback that they wanted more trees, and the council's own strategic vision is for a 'livable, sustainable community.' 'The people that I've spoken to in the community are just sick and tired of seeing their interests overshadowed by those of large corporations,' Luscombe said. 'More and more, we're seeing communities just saying, 'Well, hang on, I do want to have a say here, and I do want my views to be counted.'' In recent months, Tesla cars and showrooms have been vandalized in multiple countries by critics venting their anger over Musk's support of far-right parties in Europe, and other policies. Hanna said the council had received 'vitriolic correspondence' since approving the proposal, but he wasn't concerned about a violent backlash against the Tesla factory or council members and wouldn't be drawn on his own views on Musk. 'I'm speaking as a mayor, and I don't actually take any political or ideological stance,' he said. 'I just try and make life beautiful for the people in my area.' South Australian Local Government Minister Joe Szakacs told CNN in a statement that he will follow the 'usual process' to determine if the land should be approved for sale. 'Our Government welcomes investment and job creation in South Australia and is proud of its commitment to deliver 100 per cent net renewables by 2027,' he said. Any sale would require the land's owner to submit a development application and decontaminate the site to the standards set by state authorities. South Australia's Environment Protection Authority said it's held preliminary talks with the council and the developer. Addressing legacy contamination is often complex, costly and time-consuming, it added. Neon and Zane organized a snap rally outside the Marion Council building on Wednesday calling for the state government to reject the re-zoning application. More than a dozen protesters held signs, including one that said, 'Elon Musk can get [redacted].' They're determined to keep Tesla out of their area and are unmoved by the promise of more jobs. 'They're going to be jobs on contaminated land in a company that's contaminated by Elon Musk,' said Neon. 'Ninety-nine out of the 117 pages in their report were negative comments about Elon and the proposal. How can you ignore that? And if you do, you're not representing the people, you're just being bought by business.'
