It was the thirteenth and penultimate event of the 2014 International V8 Supercars Championship. It was held on the weekend of 14–16 November at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, at Phillip Island, Victoria. It was a horrible start to the weekend for Kiwis Shane van Gisbergen and Fabian Coulthard as they came together after turn 1 at the start Race 33 Qualifying. Fellow Kiwi Scott McLaughlin claimed pole for Race 33 and converted it to a win. Triple Eight Race Engineering teammates Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup finished second and third respectively. Whincup managed to claim pole and win for Race 34. The win for Whincup also meant that he secured the 2014 Championship, and his sixth V8 Supercar Championship title. Closest championship rivals Lowndes finished the race in second place and Mark Winterbottom in third place. Whincup and McLaughlin started on the front row for Race 35, but it was McLaughlin who took the lead from Whincup at turn 2 on the first lap. At a quarter race distance, the Safety Car was called out after David Wall ran wide at the final turn. This meant that all cars were called in to do mandatory pit stops, as well as Garth Tander taking the lead from McLaughlin in the process. Tander and McLaughlin remained together for the rest of the race until the final lap. After the final corner on the last lap, Tander's car ran out of fuel.https://www.foxsports.com.au/news/v8-supercars-phillip-island-400-2014-sunday-qualifying-race-35-live-blog-photo-video/news-story/c4a96b7021dc19de4c44c53fd13dbd9c V8 Supercars Phillip Island 400 2014: Sunday qualifying, Race 35 live blog, photo, video Will Dale Fox Sports Australia 16 November 2014 20 February 2024 This allowed McLaughlin to snatch the lead only metres before the finish line and take the race win, with Tander coasting to second place.
