Overview

  • Feeney clinched the inaugural Sprint Cup with two races remaining at Queensland Raceway after leading most of Race 1 to victory under a late safety car.
  • In Race 2, Feeney’s five-second penalty for a jump start handed Will Brown his first win since the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in March.
  • The Sprint Cup title comes with a Brabham-themed trophy, 25 bonus points and guaranteed entry into the new three-round Finals Series.
  • Feeney’s qualifying dominance continued through mixed wet and dry sessions, securing his 12th pole of the season in rain-affected runs.
  • His season haul of 11 wins and 13 podiums has propelled him far ahead in the championship standings as the series shifts to endurance events.
