Gurney said that he was delighted and knew that in reality, he had to win so he was even more focused than usual which is why he performed well.
He did look forward though and said that now he is through he will do his best to claim the title.
"I'm delighted," said Gurney. "I knew I had to win tonight and I was probably the most focused I've ever been and it's one of my best performances.
"It was a quality game and I took out a couple of importance finishes. Under the circumstances, I think I played beyond my expectations, so I'm happy with that.
"Now I'm in the Play-Offs I'll do my best to win the title."
