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

RECAP: Fabian Coulthard took his first win for Shell V-Power Racing Team, leading home a 1-2 finish in race two, after taking second behind teammate Scott McLaughlin in the day's first race. He led the early stages of race one, only to make a small error on lap two that dropped him to fourth. He fought back to take second place behind McLaughlin. In the second race he made no mistakes, and took a well earned first win in his tenure at Shell V-Power Racing Team. 

QUOTE: "I’m ruing my error in the first race, but it shows that you can’t make those kinds of mistakes in this game. It was great to come away second in that first race, I was able to hunt through the field and pass Chaz (Mostert) and Jamie (Whincup) and make it a 1-2 for the team. Happy for Scott to get his first win with the team, and for me as well. Hopefully it’s a good sign for things to come."

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

RECAP: McLaughlin took the first race win for the team in its guise as DJR Team Penske, and his first for the team after debuting for the squad at the Clipsal 500 Adelaide three weeks' ago. He overtook Jamie Whincup early to lead the race, opening his winning account with the team. Scott took a solid second place in race two behind Fabian to complete a double 1-2 result. 

QUOTE: "It's two great results for the team. We’ve been working hard for a result like this, and now we’ve got to make sure we carry it on. I’m pretty happy with how I’m settling in with the team, and it’s really fantastic for Fabian and I to both get a win. Today, coming in with two front row starts that was the ideal scenario."
