Reigning Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki has secured pole position on the Gold Coast, while a tyre lock up condemned Cam Waters to seventh on the grid.

Brodie Kostecki has produced a scorching top-10 shootout lap to nab pole position for the final Gold Coast 500 race.

The sixth driver to have a solo attempt at the Surfers Paradise street circuit, Erebus's recent Bathurst 1000 winner Kostecki set an unbeatable time to secure his second pole of the year on Sunday.

The reigning champion will share the front row of grid for the second 250km race of the weekend with championship leader Will Brown.

Saturday's race winner Cam Waters will start in seventh after his Tickford Ford Mustang locked up at the last turn.

Kostecki's Erebus teammate Jack Le Brocq will start in third, alongside championship contender Chaz Mostert in fourth.

Brown's Red Bull teammate Broc Feeney was made to settle for fifth after finishing third in Saturday's race.

Mostert's Walkinshaw Andretti United rookie teammate Ryan Wood was slapped with a kerb strike to be condemned to 10th on the grid in the shootout.

The final race of the penultimate round gets underway at 3.15pm (AEDT).
