“It is exciting to see Supercars get recognition as the premier motorsport category in the country and there was no better way to have the Championship decided than in the very last race of the year, this weekend past.

“Congratulations to Walkinshaw Andretti United and Chaz Mostert on his maiden Supercars title, a feat that he has finally been able to achieve after 13 years competing in the Championship.
