“I’d go as far as to say that this is the best championship win – it’s number 10, I’d be surprised if anyone gets close to that in the future,” said Baird.
“There were a solid five or six drivers that were capable of winning the championship at the beginning of this season and we’ve won 10 out of 21 races with more poles than anyone else.
“Everyone has had their good meeting and bad meeting, but I think the important thing is that we haven’t finished off the podium this year and the worst round result we’ve had is a third. At the end of the day, you’d say that we deserved the championship; it’s not through anyone else’s misfortune.
“My guys have just done a sensational job along with the great group of sponsors; everyone has done a great job and it’s been a really enjoyable year.
“I came here never thinking that I’ll go have a beer Sunday night on the Gold Coast with the championship wrapped up, so that’s a massive bonus.”
In 2011, Baird was named the ‘world’s most successful
Baird now has 48
Baird now has a total of 27 national championship victories.
