Jamie Whincup and Fabian Coulthard have emerged as the fans’ favourites for this weekend’s Skycity Triple Crown in Darwin as the battle heats up for the coveted Castrol EDGE V8 Predictor crown.

Statistics show Whincup has been predicted to finish atop the Darwin round rostrum, with Coulthard a close second, by players of the Castrol EDGE V8 Predictor.

With his form rejuvenated after a double race and round win at the Austin 400, the four-time V8 Supercars Champion is seen as favourite but the consistency of Coulthard will have V8 Predictors’ eying today’s practice times closely.
