The event was the second in a row in which Ford Performance Racing dominated with Mark Winterbottom winning the Saturday race. Winterbottom benefitted from a late safety car caused by a group of Cape Barren geese that bunched up the field and led to a collision between rivals Will Davison and Jamie Whincup who had been placing pressure on the leader. Neither driver was injured despite heavy damage to both cars.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-05-19/frosty-wins-as-whincup-and-davison-collide/4021512 Frosty wins as Whincup, Davison collide Australian Broadcasting Corporation 19 May 2012 22 August 2026 Craig Lowndes set new lap record on Saturday, breaking his own previous record that had stood for 13 years.https://www.drive.com.au/news/v8sc-2012-round-5-davison-reclaims-championship-lead/ V8SC 2012 Round 5: Davison Reclaims Championship Lead Malcolm Flynn drive.com.au 21 May 2012 22 August 2026 Will Davison recovered to win the Sunday race, his first at the circuit.
