Kiwi driver had his best Supercars result of the season on the opening day of racing in Pukekohe, but wasn't able to pick up a memorable win.

Heimgartner was fourth in the early stages and Van Gisbergen sixth. Five laps later the racing was on again, with the cars all bunched up. However, as had been evident all weekend, Davison was going to be tough to beat, while Van Gisbergen didn’t have the pace in his Triple Eight Holden. You need journalists close enough to smell the liniment. With 10 laps to go, the safety car came out, due to Macauley Jones having an incident. They were there to cheer on the Kiwis, expecting Shane van Gisbergen to be carrying the local hopes, but Heimgartner outshone the veteran New Zealand driver finishing second to Will Davison.

In his former category, McLaughlin had to do a lot of right foot braking and heel-toe movements with his feet, so his workouts were almost entirely leg-focused to keep those muscles sharp.
