Supercars championship leader Scott McLaughlin has gotten behind the wheel of his newly-built Ford Mustang ahead of Sunday's Sandown 500.
The DJR Team Penske star will race a completely new car at the Melbourne event after wrecking his old Mustang in a scary crash at Surfers Paradise last month.
While McLaughlin walked away unharmed from the crash at the Gold Coast 600, his team was forced to build a new No.17 racer for the Sandown event.
The New Zealander put the new car through its paces on Monday, completing a 60km shakedown at Queensland Raceway.
The vehicle will now be transported to Victoria for the Sandown event, where McLaughlin can claim back-to-back titles.
