Supercars star Shane Van Gisbergen has thrown down the gauntlet to championship rival Scott McLaughlin after a dominant display in Townsville.
The New Zealander led home teammate Jamie Whincup in Sunday's 200km race as Red Bull Holden Racing Team made it consecutive one-two finishes over the weekend.
The victory - Van Gisbergen's first since the season opening event in Adelaide back in March - means the gap between him and championship leader McLaughlin is now 131 points.
Van Gisbergen also believes pace across qualifying and race trims shows his team are getting a handle on the new Commodore ZB they debuted earlier this year.
