Craig Lowndes took out the 2025 Adelaide Motorsport Festival Shootout by just a hundredth of a second.

Lowndes drove a Pagani Huayra R to glory around the shorted circuit of the Adelaide parklands street circuit.

He snuck ahead of another former Supercars star in Tim Slade, who drove a Brabham BT62.

Only one hundredth of a second split the pair ahead of TCR champion Josh Buchan behind the wheel of a Rodin Sintura.

GT racer Garnet Patterson was also fastest in a Vern Schuppan Porsche 962C sportscar.

The Top 10 Shootout saw some of the fastest cars get pushed to the limits around the Victoria Park complex.

The Ferrari 296 Challenge and Audi R8 GT3 were next best, setting the fifth and sixth quickest times, followed by a Ford AU Falcon, Porsche GT3 RS, Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Nissan R32 GTR Skyline.

Off the track the likes of F1 personalities Valtteri Bottas, Damon Hill, Thierry Boutsen, Guenther Steiner and David Croft were all on show.
