McLaughlin won the big race in 2019 after officials accused his Ford team of violating team order rules.
After the race, the controversy was the last thing on McLaughlin’s mind.
“I can’t believe I bloody won the Bathurst 1000,” McLaughlin said after previously breaking down in tears immediately after crossing the finish line.
