Chaz Mostert, Nick Percat clinch one-two finish in Adelaide as Holden enjoys dream Supercars farewell
In a priceless end to Holden's storied Supercars journey, Walkinshaw Andretti United — a team that used to be operated by the iconic Australian brand — scored a one-two finish in the Adelaide 500 on Saturday.
Making the moment even more special was that a triumphant Chaz Mostert and second-placed Nick Percat in a tribute Holden livery.
Percat said the one-two finish topped the 2011 Bathurst 1000 victory, which saw he and Garth Tander combine to conquer The Great Race.

"It's amazing," Percat said.
"Credit to the team; they never lost any faith.
"Chaz has been the most amazing teammate. Chips have been down, and last night, he picked me up. It's not a rivalry between us; we want one-twos for the team.

"Absolutely amazing in front of a home crowd.
"I said if I got on the podium, I said it'd probably be better than the Bathurst win.
"I wasn't actually driving the car … a one-two with these liveries, it's better."
Mostert and Percat led home the field in 1990 Holden Racing Team liveries.
Mostert and Percat will race Mustangs in 2023 as WAU teams up with Ford.
"To farewell Holden, in a one-two, in these liveries ... they're what I used to watch as a kid," Percat said.
"I loved the team, and HRT … the car was fast, not quite as fast as Chaz."
