Gizzy’s got the goods

Shane van Gisbergen has won today’s 200km race in Townsville ahead of a charging James Courtney, taking his third victory of the year.

A late Safety Car on lap 62 of 70 saw the HRT #22 and a number of cars pit for fresh rubber, and after re-joining ninth, Courtney sped to the finish to steal second position from Mark Winterbottom by three-hundredths of a second.

Craig Lowndes struggled with tyres and was the first to come in for fresh rubber under green conditions – he finished 10th.

David Reynolds starred early but was swamped by others on fresh tyres to finish 14th.
