Prodrive Racing Australia’s Mark ‘Frosty’ Winterbottom is the 2015 Australian Touring Car Champion after wrapping up the V8 Supercars championship at the final round in Sydney.

The Ford driver only really needed a trouble-free run on the Saturday to clinch the title, with Craig Lowndes from Red Bull Racing Australia the only other driver with a mathematical chance of championship glory.

Lowndes was 179 points behind Winterbottom ahead of the Sydney round with 300 points on offer, so anything bar a DNF (did not finish) for Winterbottom on Saturday was likely to be enough.

Sunday’s race wasn’t just a formality however, with the battle for the team’s championship going down to the wire. Red Bull Racing capitalised on a strong showing in the second half of the season to win the team’s championship for 2015.
