Scott McLaughlin and Alex Premat win the Bathurst 1000October 13, 2019Fabian Coulthard & Tony D'Alberto - No. 12 Shell V-Power Racing Ford Warm-Up – 1st (Fastest Lap: 2m04.9307s) Scott McLaughlin & Alex Prémat - No. 17 Shell V-Power Racing Ford Warm-Up – 2nd (Fastest Lap: 2m05.1262s) COULTHARD QUOTE: "I have always said that the mountain chooses you, and today it did not choose Tony and I. We had a fast car, and were going really well until we had to double stack late in the race. To top it off, we started having engine overheating problems so had to back right off at the end and accept a solid Top 10. Congrats to Scotty and Alex on the victory. It was cool to be with the team under the podium. Tony and I will look forward to Gold Coast now." MCLAUGHLIN QUOTE: "I can't believe I won the bloody Bathurst 1000! We had such a good car all week, I put so much pressure on myself, our whole team put so much pressure on themselves to make this a good one. I'm so proud of everyone. We made a bloody good car. I've dreamt about this, standing on that roof." D'ALBERTO QUOTE: "Today was not our day.We had such great pace, didn't make any errors but we got struck down with an engine problem and had to take it easy. We know this is a good car, and a good combo so we'll be strong on the Gold Coast." PRÉMAT QUOTE: "That was so stressful, that was insane. We were gambling on the fuel, and it paid off. That was crazy. I am so happy to win this race. It's magic. I'm the first Frenchman to win Bathurst, and it is amazing. Thank you so much to this team and to Scott. What a team, and what a driver. So great to be a part of this. I will remember this forever." Back to previous page.Copyright ©2008-2016 Penske Racing. All rights reserved |
