Kiwi drivers have made Supercars history, with an incredible 1-2-3-4 finish in the opening race of the day in South Australia today.
Crossing the line behind winner Shane van Gisbergen were Andre Heimgartner, Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard, who finished fourth, making it the first time in the championship's 60-year history that New Zealand-born drivers had crossed the finish in the top four positions.
Then, to cap the day with another flourish, McLaughlin finished the round with another victory to take his points total to 2062, extending his championship lead to 215 over Jamie Whincup. Cam Waters is third on 1577 and van Gisbergen fourth on 1555.
It leaves the 27-year old Shell Ford ace in the box seat to claim a rare threepeat of drivers' titles, with just two rounds and four races remaining.
He started the day perfectly, claiming pole for both races, but in the opening race he was beaten off the start by van Gisbergen, who never gave up the lead from there.
