About This Product:

If Winning The 2018 Championship Was A Road To Redemption For Scott Mclaughlin And Shell V-Power Racing Team Then His 2019 Championship Win Was A Road To Broken Records.

Mclaughlin And The Team Were Simply In A League Of Their Own For Much Of The Year, Starting By Winning Both Races At The Season Opening Adelaide 500 To Give The Brand New Ford Mustang Gt A Perfect Debut Along With Claiming Mclaughlin’S First Adelaide 500 Crown. From Adelaide, Mclaughlin Went On An Absolute Tear Leaving All Competition Behind Him. He Racked Up Race Wins At Albert Park, Symmons Plains, Phillip Island, Barbagallo, Winton And Then Hidden Valley Where He Became The First Driver To Ever Accomplish The Feat Of Winning The Triple Crown.

Wins At Townsville And Queensland Raceway Were Followed By A Weekend Sweep At The Bend Motorsport Park Which Pushed His Tally To 16 Wins For The Year, Equaling The Record Of Most Race Wins In A Season Set By Craig Lowndes In 1996. Fittingly, Mclaughlin Broke That 23-Year-Old Record At His Home Round At Pukekohe In Front Of An Adoring New Zealand Crowd, Notching Up Win Number 17 For The Year In His 100Th Supercars Championship Round Start.

The Next Focus For The Young Kiwi Was Claiming A Maiden Bathurst 1000 Win And That’S Exactly What He Did, Mclaughlin And Co-Driver Alexandre Prémat Put In Supreme Driving Performances To Take Out The First Bathurst Win For The Team In 25 Years And The First Under The Djr Team Penske Banner.

The Almost-Perfect Season Was Brought – Literally – Crashing Back To Earth At The Following Round, The Gold Coast 600. Mclaughlin Hit A Concrete Wall At 140Km/H While Pushing The Limits In Qualifying, The Savage Impact Writing Off His Bathurst-Winning #17 Mustang, Never To Be Raced Again. A Mammoth Round-The-Clock Effort Saw The Team Build A New Car In A Week For The Sandown 500 Where He And Premat’S Ninth Place Finish Was Enough For Mclaughlin To Wrap Up The 2019 Championship With A Round To Spare.

Second And Fourth Place Finishes At The Newcastle 500 Capped Off A Remarkable Season, Mclaughlin Raising The Supercars Championship Trophy To Become Just The 10Th Driver To Win Back-To-Back Titles After A Year Where He Took 18 Wins, 15 Poles And 22 Podiums, Along With Being Voted The Most Popular Driver By The Fans And The Driver’S Driver By His Peers.

Dressed In The Coates Hire Newcastle 500 Livery, Don’T Miss Mclaughlin’S 2019 Championship Winning Mustang In 1:18 Scale Which Is Scheduled To Be Produced By Authentic Collectables In High Quality Die-Cast With Detailed Interior And Fully Opening Parts.
