Storm washes out Gold Coast Supercars race

Sunday's Gold Coast Supercars race has been washed out after a thunderstorm lashed the Surfers Paradise street circuit.

Organisers were forced to call off the race with just 43 of 102 laps completed, with the weather conditions making the track too unsafe.

The decision means no points are awarded leaving Ford's Scott McLaughlin still leading the title race by a mere 14 points from Holden's Shane Van Gisbergen with just four races remaining.

A no-result also ensures Bathurst champions Craig Lowndes and Steven Richards claim the Endurance Cup for the best performed pairing during the season's three endurance events.
