Overview

  • Chaz Mostert controlled Saturday’s 81-lap opener to win for Walkinshaw Andretti United, locking himself into the Adelaide Grand Final under Supercars’ revised Finals format.
  • Will Brown charged from 15th to second in Race 1 and helped Triple Eight clinch a 13th teams’ championship, underscoring strong race pace despite ongoing one-lap struggles.
  • Sunday qualifying swung with passing showers: Anton De Pasquale topped Q2 for Team 18 before Broc Feeney won the Top 10 Shootout to secure pole, with Mostert third on the grid and Ryan Wood fourth.
  • Brown’s Q2 misread on wets-to-slicks timing left him 17th for Race 2, a setback he called “just missed the window” after pitting as rivals improved on a drying track.
  • Tickford’s difficult start continued with Thomas Randle’s and Cam Waters’ underwhelming Saturday results, while Grove Racing’s Matt Payne and Kai Allen stayed in the mix as key Finals contenders.
