SVG named Supercars' best and fairest

After showing remarkable sportsmanship in a frustrating year, Holden's Shane van Gisbergen has been rewarded with the Barry Sheene Medal as Supercars' best and fairest driver.

Van Gisbergen endured a tough 2019 season, finishing a distant second in the drivers' championship behind fierce Ford rival Scott McLaughlin who claimed back to back titles.

But the Holden star didn't walk away empty handed in 2019, securing the best and fairest gong for the first time at the Supercars end of season awards in Sydney on Monday night.

The award - named after the late motorcycle world champion and popular Supercars commentator - is decided by votes from motorsport journalists.
