Last night's opening heat was probably the most important preliminary race for the teams as it will be the only one raced in similar conditions to tonight's finals. There are some big names struggling for pace in super competitive fields, and it's likely there will be a bunch of new faces crowned champion later today.
Here's a small selection of photos from Friday...
