Jamie Whincup the highest points-scorer across the weekend has won the inaugural Larry Perkins Trophy. Whincup, who secured the inaugural Larry Perkins Trophy on aggregate points was second in the race right behind Percat. “It’s sweet and sour at the moment,” said the reigning champion.
“Just being honest I’m filthy at myself for a shocking fourth race. I just muffed the start but hey, to grab the Larry Perkins Trophy is obviously a good job, the best job over the weekend, so we’ll take that.”
Chaz Mostert came home fourth, while Scott Pye, who yesterday broke through for a first Supercars win, capped off a good weekend with fifth. The Penske Ford duo were next, Scott McLaughlin holding off Fabian Coulthard.
In terms of the championship, Shane van Gisbergen moved all the way up to 13th from the back of the grid to retain the points lead. Reynolds is second, 49 points behind the Kiwi, followed by Scott McLaughlin.
Whincup, still recovering from a poor opening weekend in Adelaide, sits sixth, 107 points behind his teammate.
