**German Audi** driver **Christopher Mies** showcased his skill in challenging conditions by leading both practice sessions at the **Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia** finale in **Adelaide**, sharing the **Shannons Audi** with championship frontrunner **Liam Talbot**. Despite persistent rain, the practice rounds at the **Adelaide Parklands Circuit** proceeded smoothly, allowing competitors to gain valuable experience in wet weather conditions.

**Geoff Emery**, another notable competitor, encountered a setback when his **Jamec Racing Audi** collided with a barrier after hydroplaning in the second practice session. This incident occurred shortly after he took over from **Max Hofer**, placing him in a delicate position in the championship race where he trails Talbot by only seven points.

Other Audi drivers, including **Marc Cini** of **Hallmarc** and **Matt Stoupas** of **KFC**, along with **Hobson Motorsport**'s **Mercedes** driver **Mike Bailey**, also faced difficulties at the same turn. **Yasser Shahin**, driving for **EMA Motorsport** in a **Porsche**, narrowly avoided a similar fate with a skilful recovery from a slide.

Mies' performance was pivotal in boosting Talbot's championship hopes, leading the first session by over half a second and the second session by a narrow margin. **Jayden Ojeda**, driving a **Harrolds Racing/Volante Rosso Motorsport** Mercedes, also performed impressively, finishing second in both sessions with his teammate **Christos Batzios**.

The Emery/Hofer Audi and the Shahin/Campbell Porsche remained consistent, finishing third, fifth, and fourth respectively in both sessions. The **Am** class saw **Brad Schumacher**'s **Schumacher Motorsport Audi** and the Stoupas/**Stokell** KFC Audi excel, while the **GT3 Trophy** category witnessed impressive debuts from **Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge** participants **Marcos Flack** and **Tom McLennan**.

The Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia will return to the Adelaide Parklands Circuit for qualifying, followed by three 40-minute races. The events will be broadcast live, offering fans an opportunity to witness the thrilling conclusion of this racing spectacle.
