Van Gisbergen opens up on Supercars title

At last, superstitious Holden gun Shane van Gisbergen is talking about winning the Supercars championship.

And the series leader has not held back, saying sealing another drivers' title would rate higher than claiming the Supercars' holy grail, next weekend's Bathurst 1000.

Van Gisbergen has taken a tight-lipped approach to adding a second championship to his resume since taking over the series lead last month.

Certainly the flying Kiwi doesn't have anything to crow about at Bathurst, managing just one podium finish in 11 attempts when he placed second in 2016 - the year he claimed his maiden championship.
