Behind him, Caine Lobb and Andrew Waite fought a race-long battle for second place, Lobb leading initially.
After a Safety Car period Waite found a way past Lobb and then went looking to pass race leader Whelan.
But Whelan kept the door closed and began to ease away again after Lobb began attacking him .
By the end of the race, Whelan had opened a gap to Waite who held out Lobb on the final run to the line.
