On this day: career-defining title charge begins at Winton
Repco Supercars Championship
By James Pavey
The next venue of the 2021 Repco Supercars Championship has been a happy hunting ground for Mark Winterbottom.
No active driver has more wins at Winton Motor Raceway than Winterbottom, whose four victories are matched by Jamie Whincup.
Whincup and Red Bull Ampol Racing don’t have an affinity with the rural Victorian circuit; he hasn’t won there since 2012, and the team since 2017 through Shane van Gisbergen.

Winterbottom scored poles at Winton in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012, but had to wait until 2013 to win his first race at the circuit.
