Scott McLaughlin took a brilliant win for the DJR Team Penske team this afternoon, the likeable Kiwi up front on pace all day, topping practice before running second to teammate Coulthard in the fifteen minute qualifying session.
When the race got underway, Scotty got a sensational start to jump his teammate, Fabian Coulthard, off the line, and the duo raced together to build a massive gap back to the rest of the field.
It was a dominant display by the No.17 Shell V-Power Ford driver, taking his first win for DJR Team Penske in the process.
“That was awesome – I got every element of that race right,” he said. “I got a great start, and put all the pieces together. I'm so happy to get my first win for the team. Fabs has got a couple, and I'm stoked to get one myself now, especially with Roger here. Our car pace was incredible, and the tyre life was good too. What a day!”
