2019 supercars championship

Remember 2019 in Supercars? Scott McLaughlin steamrolled the field, clinching the drivers’ title in the Shell V-Power Racing Team Ford Mustang, which was new to the grid and fast enough to make stopwatch batteries nervous.

Parity tweaks came mid-year to calm the Mustang’s wings, but the silverware kept marching to the same garage.

McLaughlin and Alex Prémat won the Bathurst 1000 amid a team-orders stink that earned penalties yet didn’t topple the win.

Holden’s ZB Commodore fought hard, but with Nissan gone it was a blue-versus-red two-hander all season.

The finale in Newcastle wrapped a record-stacked campaign for McLaughlin, and the teams’ gong went to his mob as well.

In short: new Mustang, big controversy, bigger trophies—very Supercars.
