Cam Waters has held tough to win Supercars' Darwin Triple Crown for the first time, although Anton De Pasquale's flawless driving secured victory in the final race at Hidden Valley Raceway.
After starting Sunday's 70-lap, 200km race in third place, Team 18's De Pasquale won by 1.4298 seconds in hot and humid conditions.
It was his second race victory of the season after securing a win in Sydney in February and ended his team's relatively quiet weekend on a high.
But Waters emerged from the weekend the happiest having secured the Triple Crown - given to the driver who accumulates the most points over the weekend.
The Tickford Racing star won Friday's sprint race, finished second in Saturday's 200km event and claimed third on Sunday to secure the crown, with Grove Racing's Matt Payne taking second.
