Fabian Coulthard - No. 12 Shell V-Power Racing Ford

Recap: Coulthard's No.12 Shell V-Power Ford was quick in race trim today, equaling yesterday's qualifying result in 5th. His best times came on used tyres, which put him in good stead to battle in the race. He pushed through to the front of the pack in today's 200km race, and gain his second podium position of the weekend.

Quote: "Scott had a very quick qualifying car, whereas my car was much faster on used tyres. I had a good race car both days, could get onto the podium both days and that's a credit to everyone at the team. I'm happy with the car, and know that we'll come back better at the next one. I'm very pleased to be competitive at every event, and leave Winton maintaining the Championship lead."

Scott McLaughlin - No. 17 Shell V-Power Racing Ford

Recap: McLaughlin had pace to burn again today, taking the pole position by over three-tenths of a second from the Triple Eight cars. His race did not go to plan, with a shift-cut issue causing slow shifts across the length of the race. He battled as hard as he could at the front of the pack, but played it smart to bring the No.17 Shell V-Power Ford home in a solid 5th position.

Quote: "It was a tough day out there today, and disappointing to not be able to capitalise on our pole position and the pace in the No.17 Shell V-Power Ford. The shift cut issue meant I had to use the clutch for every shift, which in a game of milliseconds makes all the difference. I'm happy we finished in the top five considering the day we had. Thanks to the team for the fast car. We'll come back firing in Darwin."
