In the end he was unable to threaten Waters for second, though third still meant he’d beaten his Ford rival for the weekend in terms of points.Having a strong car already in Townsville will set the GOAT up for another crack at clawing back points into McLaughlin’s lead, when the championship resumes next week at the very same venue.Something that will surely hamper McLaughlin’s desire to extend his championship lead to beyond 300-points before what surely will be the final round at the Bathurst 1000.Jamie Whincup. Between some crucial gains being made in the standings for the seven-time champion in Jamie Whincup, to damage limitation for the reigning champ – here are the Townsville talking points.In typical Whincup fashion, the 37-year old dominated Races 19 and 20 from pole position ahead of Chaz Mostert on both occasions, to cut the gap in the championship to Scott McLaughlin to only 109-points.While the Shell V-Power Racing Team and McLaughlin had their own struggles at the Reid Park street circuit, Whincup and Red Bull staked their claim as to why they are still one of the best combinations in the business.Winning the round for the second time in three weekends, Whincup scored third in Race 21 to ensure he accumulated the most points of anyone across the Townsville SuperSprint weekend – totalling 286-points for the round ahead of Cameron Waters and McLaughlin on 23-points.With 15-laps to go in Race 21, Whincup made his compulsory stop and did so for only rear tyres which moved him into podium contention – after starting fourth on the grid. It is the twenty-fourth running of the Supercars Championship and the twenty-fourth series in which Supercars have contested the Australian Touring Car Championship, the premier title in Australian motorsport. Matthew Brister, the only other driver to win in 2020, is another nine points behind. An onsite hotel at The Bend Motorsport Park would then house everybody for what could a standalone round for the Bathurst 1000.Captured a great grassroots sporting moment?

Drivers, constructors and team results for the top racing series from around the world at the click of your finger Though realistically anyone beyond McLaughlin and Whincup are contenders in the championship now.Obviously with various restrictions still in place across different states and territories in Australia, due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic – Supercars has been forced to alter many of its plans on the hoof to ensure a valid championship is still contested.The plan up until recently following Townsville, was for the teams to go back into their Queensland hubs with a weekend off and then head to Queensland Raceway in Ipswich for a double-header.Though with Queensland Raceway now unlikely to have their circuit prepared for the prospective September 19-20 and 26-27 dates, Supercars is now supposedly looking at The Bend in South Australia as its penultimate round for the championship.The Bathurst 1000 is all but confirmed as the season finale for 2020 and will also be delayed a week to an October 18 date, in order to allow teams the adequate time to meet New South Wales quarantine restrictions – but also to avoid a clash with the AFL Grand Final which has been confirmed for October 24.As things currently stand, there are no travel restrictions between Queensland and South Australia which would mean an easy passage between states for the teams and crews.
