Scott McLaughlin will be hoping he can turn a pole position at Phillip Island into a Supercars victory after he couldn't convert impressive qualifying times into a race win last year.

The Shell V-Power driver has qualified fastest for the first 250km race on Saturday afternoon after flying out of the blocks.

The New Zealand ace dominated early and called it quits almost 10 minutes out to spare himself and his Ford ahead of the race, starting at 3.45pm (AEST).
