Motorsport: Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen claims third Supercars title with win at Gold Coast

Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen has claimed back-to-back Supercars titles with a win in Saturday's race at Gold Coast.

The 33-year-old clinched his third overall championship, after overtaking Dave Reynolds - who started from pole position, to win the race by 17 seconds.

"Obviously the car is amazing to do that," van Gisbergen said after the race.

"Basically we had to beat one car to the finish to secure it, but we killed everyone, that was amazing.

"It was a great battle at the start, Dave was driving awesome, it's been a while, but I enjoyed racing him."

"What a year, it's been a lot of fun."

"I want to come out tomorrow and do the same job, so I'll keep focussed. But it's certainly pretty special and to see the guys with how much effort they've been putting in and how good our cars are.

"I'm stoked, it's hard to put into words."
