2018 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship - CrownBet Darwin Triple Crown

The 2018 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship continues somewhere throughout the Outback in the Hidden Valley Raceway for the CrownBet Darwin Triple Crown event and over the course of two races this weekend, the Outback just never felt so alive when these racing drivers come across Darwin to see who comes on top.

Beginning with what happened on the first race, a last minute attempt by Scott McLaughlin made him win the opener after beating the likes of title rivals Shane van Gisbergen and David Reynolds by 1.2 seconds at the line. Then, at the chaotic latter half of the event, not to mention smoke pouring at the back of McLaughlin's car and the late Safety Car deployment that could cost him valuable time, David Reynolds of Erebus Motorsport nicked his second win of the season.

So far, after the race, Scott McLaughlin still leads the leaderboard with 1775 points while Shane Van Gisbergen is 161 points behind him and David Reynolds' in third place with 1,448 points.

The next race is the Watpac Townsville 400 on the 6th to the 8th of July, 2018.
