Scott McLaughlin wins Bathurst

From Morning Report, 8:57 am on 14 October 2019

Questionable sportsmanship has taken some of the shine off Scott McLaughlin's maiden Bathurst 1000 win. Team-mate and fellow New Zealander Fabian Coulthard controversially slowed down during a late safety car period, backing up the field while McLaughlin raced to pit lane to refuel his car. Coulthard was handed a drive-through penalty for the move and his team has been charged with a team orders breach. But Scott McLaughlin's team deny the move decided the race. Brenton Vannisselroy has the story.
