later caught out Jamie Whincup at The Bend.

Steven Richards, Bathurst

Not to be outdone, Craig Lowndes and co-driver Steven Richards stepped the shoey game up a notch at Bathurst, performing a rare double-shoey on the podium.

It followed a daring ‘superman’ act from Richards on the pitlane wall at race end, leaning over the circuit as Lowndes came by after taking the flag.

“I was just trying to celebrate with Lowndesy,” Richards later told the Fox Motorsport podcast of his pit wall antics.

“It’s one of the best moments in world motorsport, not just Australian motorsport.

“I don’t think too much about it, I did it probably to a lesser degree in 2015, but I was just excited.”

Shane van Gisbergen, Pukekohe

Van Gisbergen again gave us some of his legendary burnouts in 2018 – including during his mid-season purple patch at Queensland Raceway, Townsville and Sydney Motorsport Park.

But whether he meant it or not, the Pukekohe parc ferme ‘park-in’ with title rival McLaughlin proved the most talked about post-race move of the year.

It had plenty fired up, with commentators quick to label it deliberate, fans up in arms, and McLaughlin determined to get his revenge on the Sunday.

Through it all though, van Gisbergen protested his innocence, later musing that “the shit parking mistake turned out to be a big shit fight, more than I thought".

Scott McLaughlin, Pukekohe

The ‘Spiderman’ fence climb was made famous by Team Penske IndyCar star Helio Castroneves in the early 2000s.

When Scott McLaughlin took a decisive, and hugely popular, win on home soil in the Sunday race at Pukekohe, the 25-year-old wasted no time in sharing it with his fans.

Up on the fence!
