Shane van Gisbergen has led from pole position to win the Clipsal 500 Adelaide in front of a record single-day crowd for a V8 Supercar race of 95,000 people.
The Tekno Autosports driver took the first win for the Queensland-based team in emphatic fashion, despite a late race Safety Car bunching an otherwise strung-out field together for a 10-lap dash to the flag.
Tekno Autosports become the first team other than Triple Eight and Ford Performance Racing to win a V8 Supercars points-paying race since late 2011.
Jamie Whincup finished second and race one winner Craig Lowndes third for Red Bull Racing Australia.
“It’s unbelievable. It’s the best race and the car was awesome,” Webb said.
“I can’t thank the Webb family and the Tekno Autosports team for taking me on.”
The pair of Red Bull Racers diced with Russell Ingall for the final podium places immediately following the restart, but ultimately prevailed to take the final two spots, Ingall finishing fourth.
Mark Winterbottom finished fifth, ahead of Will Davison – slow pit stops hurting both FPR cars throughout today’s race.
James Courtney, Tony D’Alberto, Scott McLaughlin and Jonathon Webb completed the top 10.
Unlike yesterday’s race today was a far more bruising affair – just 17 of the 28 starters finishing.
A record 95,000 people attended today’s event, taking the four-day total to more than 285,000.
