Race by race history

@Fecotank: Referring back to your reverting of the history section last year;

All other Supercars Championship event pages have summaries of the major events that have taken place at that event over the years. For example, the Bathurst 1000 page would be a lot shorter without going through some of the major events at a race by race level. While the section I wrote for this page was lengthy, these two events were two of the most notable events in recent championship history.
I think it is important to mention the championship deciders that have taken place as these are a major part of the event's young history.
Despite your edit summary, the individual race pages did not have this level of detail on either championship finale so it is not a repetition.

On balance, I would propose reinstating the histories - albeit in a more abridged version to provide some context for the event into the future without going overboard. SchueyFan (talk) 06:33, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
