James Warburton Chief Executive Officer, Supercars
Welcome from Supercars
Welcome to the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 – one of Australia’s most iconic sporting events and the perfect destination to launch a brand-new era for our sport.
This weekend marks a historic first for Supercars: the beginning of the Repco Supercars Championship Finals Series. Ten of the 24 drivers lining up on the grid arrive on the Gold Coast with their Championship dreams still alive — but when the chequered flag falls on Sunday, only seven will leave this concrete canyon with a shot at the title. Every lap counts, and every moment promises the intensity and unpredictability that make Supercars so special.
There’s no better stage for this new Finals format than Surfers Paradise –where the roar of the engines meets the energy of the crowd, and the racing is matched only by the atmosphere that surrounds it.
Events like this are only possible thanks to the incredible support of our partners. I’d like to extend our sincere thanks to the Queensland Government, the City of Gold Coast and Experience Gold Coast for their

Welcome from Repco
Welcome to the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship – Repco’s fifth year as the presenting partner of the world’s most competitive and professional class of touring cars.
From the glistening night lights in Sydney, a return to the majestic Taupō, New Zealand, the legendary Repco Bathurst 1000 in October and all the way to a thrilling new finals race on the streets of Adelaide, the 2025 season is set to be one of the most talked about Supercars Championships on record.
It is great to see the return to The Bend and an extra round added in 2025, too. The return of Queensland Raceway is a popular destination in a heartland location for the sport.
And let’s face it, more Supercars racing is better for everyone.
We are really looking forward to Getting you Goin’ this year, and like the years that have gone by, it’ll be hard for fans to miss our involvement with the championship.
You’ll see your favourite Repco Fleet on display and on track, plus a series of new cars that will come to life. Also, the Repco fan zone will be back – bigger and better than ever.
But why does Repco support Supercars? The answer was simple: when we joined
Hon Andrew Powell MP Minister for Tourism
in 2021, and it remains the same today –Repco loves cars, and so do you.
It’s in our bloodline – from the heights of being a part of Sir Jack Brabham’s F1 world title in 1966 – to your local mechanic or the garage that houses your pride and joy.
Cars mean the world to us, and we feel proud and privileged to have our name alongside the best racing series in Australasia.
I’m not one to predict who might win the championship in 2025, but I know that the ingredients are all there for another epic title fight.
The new finals system that comes into effect after the Repco Bathurst 1000 will bring a new set of challenges to drivers and teams. Every race will have a huge bearing on the series’ outcome, and there’s also a chance that a decent dose of luck will help their cause.
As I write this, and we kick off the start of the season, there’s no telling who the final four will be when we head to Adelaide, but we know for sure that anyone who makes that cut will have deserved it – and will be racing hard to become the champion.
On behalf of the entire Repco Crew, I hope everyone enjoys another thrilling Supercars season and I look forward to seeing many of you trackside in 2025.

IT’S FINALS TIME!
The inaugural Supercars Finals Series is here. WILL DALE and MARK WALKER break down the new-look format, which will culminate in the crowning of the Repco Supercars Champion on the streets of Adelaide in November.
Supercars has made a revolutionary shake-up to its championship format for 2025 by introducing a Finals Series.
In a seismic shift, the champion will no longer be determined solely on a mostpoints-wins basis, as has been the case since the championship evolved from a single-race format to a multi-round season in 1969.
Rather, there will be two phases of the season that lead into the playoffs, in a move that ensures the title fight will go down to the wire.
The opening eight rounds (25 races) of the year were dubbed the Repco Sprint Cup, which was followed by the Ryco Enduro Cup, which comprised The Bend 500 and Bathurst 1000.
Now, on the Gold Coast, it’s Finals time!
A total of ten drivers have been locked in, which, over two events, will be whittled down to just four title contenders for the last round of the season, the bp Adelaide Grand Final.
PHASE 1: REPCO SPRINT CUP
The Repco Sprint Cup opened the season, beginning with the Thrifty Sydney 500 and concluding with the Century Batteries Ipswich Super 440.
Drivers accumulated points as usual throughout that phase, while five bonus points were awarded to the driver who set the fastest lap in each race (provided they finished inside the top 15 finishing positions of the race).
The Repco Sprint Cup was wrapped up by Broc Feeney, who automatically qualified for the finals.
PHASE 2: RYCO ENDURO CUP
The Ryco Enduro Cup returned to the schedule after last being awarded in 2019, encompassing the AirTouch 500 at The Bend and Repco Bathurst 1000.
All drivers in the field continued to add points to their championship tally as normal, with the top ten in points after Bathurst locked into the Finals.
The fresh rules paved the way for a driver outside the top ten in points, but who won the Enduro Cup, to advance to the post-season.
However, with Matt Payne and Garth Tander claiming the Enduro Cup with results of third at The Bend and first at Bathurst, the cutoff remained at the top ten in the standings.
Left: Cameron Waters is always a threat in the closing races of the season.
Main: Broc Feeney has dominated 2025 to date, with 12 race wins.
PHASE 3: THE FINALS
The Finals cover the last three rounds of the season at the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500, the Penrite Oil Sandown 500 and the bp Adelaide Grand Final.
Ten drivers have qualified for the opening round of the Finals – namely Feeney, Payne, Will Brown, Cameron Waters, Brodie Kostecki, Chaz Mostert, Anton De Pasquale, Thomas Randle, Ryan Wood and Kai Allen.
These drivers have had their points reset to 3,000 for the Gold Coast round, with bonus points applied based on their championship position after Bathurst.
The points leader, Feeney, has received 150 points, second place 120 points, third 96, fourth 78, fifth 66, sixth 57, seventh 48, eighth 39, ninth 30, and 10th place given 21 points.
The Sprint Cup winner, Feeney, has also been given 25 bonus points, while Payne has received his own 25-point bonus for winning the Enduro Cup.
The remaining drivers who do not qualify for finals will continue to participate in the subsequent rounds, adding points to their championship tallies as usual to determine positions 11 and beyond in the Drivers’ Championship standings.
ELIMINATION FINAL 1: GOLD COAST
The ten Finals drivers will continue to accumulate points as normal on top of their amended tallies.
Following the Gold Coast races, only seven drivers remain in Finals contention: any finals drivers that win races on the Gold Coast, with the remaining slots filled based on championship points.
It’s the ultimate case of ‘you win and your’re in!
The three eliminated drivers continue to accumulate points across the remaining rounds to determine positions eight, nine and ten in the Drivers’ Championship standings.
ELIMINATION FINAL 2: SANDOWN
The seven remaining Finals drivers will have their points reset to 4,000, with bonus points applied based on their championship positions after the Gold Coast.
The points leader will receive 150 points, second will get 120, third will get 96, fourth will get 78, fifth will get 66, sixth will get 57, and seventh will get 48. There are no bonus points for the Sprint Cup and Enduro Cup winners, should they make the cut.
These seven drivers will continue to accumulate points on top of their amended tallies over the two scheduled races.
Following Sandown, only four drivers will remain in Finals contention: any finals drivers that win races at Sandown, with the remaining slots filled based on championship points.
The three eliminated drivers continue to accumulate points at the final round to determine positions five, six and seven in the Drivers’ Championship standings.
Matt Payne heads to the Gold Coast on top of the world after claiming both the Repco Bathurst 1000 and the Rydo Enduro Cup.
RACE’S OVER. NOW SHOW US HOW YOU HOLIDAY.
Tag #queenslandholidayfeeling, #thisisqueensland, #ExperienceGoldCoast
GRAND FINAL: ADELAIDE
The four remaining Finals drivers will have their points reset to 5,000, with bonus points applied based on the championship positions after Sandown.
The points leader will receive 50, second will get 30, and third will get 15.
The four Finals drivers will continue to accumulate points on top of their amended tallies.
The Finals driver with the most points at the end of the Adelaide weekend will be crowned as the 2025 Repco Supercars Champion.
THE STATE OF PLAY
Coming into the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 600, there is everything to play for with two elimination events left in the run-up to the bp Adelaide Grand Final.
Feeney and Payne are clear at the top of the standings after their impressive seasons to date, plus their bonus points hauls, with thanks to their respective Sprint Cup and Enduro Cup successes.
While Feeney enjoyed a mega Sprint Cup, which included 12 race wins, a tough Enduro campaign saw him fall back to within 56 points of Payne prior to the reset.
As it stands, heading into the Gold Coast, the recalculated points difference stands at 30.
Reigning champion Will Brown is next, ahead of Cam Waters, who cleaned up in Sydney, then Brodie Kostecki (below), who won at The Bend and in Townsville.
Chaz Mostert is next, after he claimed a victory earlier in the season at The Bend, while Anton De Pasquale currently sits on the bubble, after a tough Bathurst 1000, which netted the Chevrolet star 20th at the chequered flag.
Currently outside of the top seven are Thomas Randle, Ryan Wood and Kai Allen, although the trio are only 27 points removed from De Pasquale.
Interestingly, the race to make the Finals went down to the very last lap of the Repco Bathurst 1000, with Feeney successfully passing André Heimgartner for sixth, which handed Allen tenth place in the standings by a slender threepoint margin.
The concrete canyon of the Gold Coast Street Circuit provides a massive challenge for competitors, with the unforgiving layout set to shape the Finals run for the ten hopefuls.
GOLD COAST FORM
The 2024 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 600 provided a mixed bag of results, proving the wide-open nature of the tricky street circuit.
In Saturday’s opener, which was notable for being the first ever race at the venue that saw all starters finish, Cam Waters led home a Tickford Racing one-two, with Thomas Randle (below) some 9 seconds adrift after the safety car-free encounter.
Broc Feeney placed third from Matt Payne and Brodie Kostecki (right), while the only 2025 finalist to strike trouble was Ryan Wood, who placed 22nd after receiving three penalties for track limits violations.
Sunday, meanwhile, saw Brodie Kostecki strike back, winning from Will Brown, Feeney, Waters and Randle.
There was one safety car period during the race, which came on the opening circuit after an 11-car pileup at turn 11.
The only driver sidelined by the melee proved to be Anton De Pasquale.
RACE YOU TO THE BAR
Although the big V8s had been a fixture on the streets of the Gold Coast since 1994, in 2002, the event became a points-paying round of the championship. The race wins that weekend went to Greg Murphy and Jason Bargwanna, who claimed the sodden Sunday encounter. Craig Lowndes, aboard the 00 Motorsport green-eyed monster, finished the races in third and second, equalling Bargwanna’s points haul from the weekend.
The incredible concrete canyon of the Gold Coast Street Circuit. In 2005, Craig Lowndes dominated the weekend – from sixth on the grid for race one, he claimed results of second, first and first, securing round honours from Greg Murphy and Mark Skaife. an1images.com/

The Sunday race of the 2018 Gold Coast 600 was ultimately a non-event, with a thunderstorm flooding the circuit. The race was declared a non-race with no points or podium awarded, the first time this had happened in the history of the championship.
The Sunday race in 2022 on the Gold Coast was disrupted by this multicar wreck on the beachside chicane. Eliminated in the lap three wreck were James Golding, Broc Feeney, Lee Holdsworth, Nick Percat and Macauley Jones.

FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
For over two decades, the Porsche Carrera Cup has pitted the brightest young talents against seasoned pros in equal equipment.
The 2025 Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia Championship is again shaping up as an epic battle aboard Stuttgart’s fastest one-make machinery.
Since 2003, the Carrera Cup has been a star maker, both here and abroad.
Take, for instance, Matt Campbell, whose dominance of the local scene saw him picked up by Porsche internationally.
The Queenslander has subsequently parlayed his local 2016 Carrera Cup success into a role as a spearhead for Roger Penske’s assault on global prototype racing with the Porsche 963.
Other examples of young guns using the category as a stepping stone are plentiful.
There’s Kiwi Callum Hedge, who is now rapidly climbing the North American open
wheel ladder after sealing the 2023 Carrera Cup Australia title.
On these shores, 2021 champ Cameron Hill has cemented his place in the Supercars field, ditto Jaxon Evans.
Other current Supercars drivers who have graduated from the Carrera Cup include and David Reynolds.
While the Pro class at the head of the field features aspiring aces seeking to make their mark, forever, they have been able to benchmark themselves against seasoned pros, many with extensive Supercars Championship credentials.
This list includes inaugural champion Jim Richards, plus five-time series winner Craig Baird, and other Carrera Cup champions vin the form of Fabian Coulthard, Steven Richards and David Wall.
While the focus on the front of the field is fixed on the battle for Pro honours, within the Pro-Am ranks for semi-professional racers, the action is just as intense.
At the heart of the category is the spectacularly styled Cup car, the first racing version based on the current 992 generation road car, and the first one-make racer from the German manufacturer to feature a wide, turbo-spec body.
Producing around 375 kW (510 hp), the new 911 GT3 Cup exceeds the output of its immediate predecessor by 25 horsepower.
Coupled with an increase in traction and downforce, the potent package has seen lap times tumble, both here and abroad.
This season, Harri Jones seeks his third series title, this time aboard a car tuned by his family-run team.
He will also look to continue his success in the Endurance Cup, a series within a series consisting of 40-to-45-minute races contested over multiple rounds. ■
FUTURE STARS
If you are looking for brilliant racing, the one-make Toyota GAZOO Racing Australia GR Cup consistently tops the charts.
The Toyota GAZOO Racing Australia GR Cup remains a leading attraction on the Repco Supercars Championship undercard, featuring the best and brightest talent in the motorsport pipeline competing in identical equipment.
At the start of last season, a brand-new model GR86 made its racing debut on the streets of Townsville, continuing the platform’s tradition of ultra-tight racing that the class had become famous for.
Built by longtime Toyota partners Neal Bates Motorsport, the newer generation machine features more power and less weight than its predecessor, and immediately started undercutting lap records when it hit the track.
If history is anything to go by, the stars of the future will be racing in front of you this weekend.
In 2016, Will Brown secured the inaugural Australian Toyota 86 Racing Series title with
seven wins from 14 races, a feat that marked the beginning of his subsequent rise up the motorsport ranks, culminating in his victory in the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship.
Similarly, his Red Bull Ampol Racing stablemate, Broc Feeney, shot to prominence with his exploits in the class in 2018, before cleaning up in Super3 and Super2, and eventually replacing Jamie Whincup at Triple Eight Race Engineering.
Cameron Hill twice featured in the top three of the end-of-season pointscore, while it was also a step on the ladder to the Supercars main game taken by the likes of Kai Allen, Aaron Cameron and Ryan Wood.
Looking elsewhere within the Supercars ranks there is ample GR Cup experience, such as in the wildcard runners, including Cameron Crick, Zach Bates, Lochie Dalton and Rylan Gray, while co-drivers including Jayden Ojeda, Declan Fraser, Zak Best, Brad Vaughan, Jobe Stewart and Jarrod Hughes
have all honed their craft in the one-make class.Such is the popularity of the category that in 2023, a second-tier Scholarship Series was introduced to serve as a further stepping stone for young drivers entering the motorsport scene, with competitors utilising first-generation Toyota 86 machinery.
Several of its products have excelled upon arrival in the GR Cup, with graduates including Max Geoghegan, the grandson of five-time Australian Touring Car champion Ian Geoghegan, who has subsequently stepped up into the Dunlop Super2 Series after winning last year’s GR Cup.
In 2025, the Toyota GAZOO Racing Australia GR Cup features a stacked calendar in the second half of the year, which after the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500, concludes at the Penrite Oil Sandown 500.
So strap in, this is going to be a ride on the wild side! ■
2025 TGRA GR CUP, ROUND 4
POCKET ROCKETS
The Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series always turns on a large spectacle, even if the cars are small in size…
Apack of angry ants or pint-sized racers, call them what you will, but the Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series is a must-see part of the support category action at the Snowy River Caravans Tasmania Super 440.
Around half the scale of the road-going counterparts, Aussie Racing Cars have been developed over time to provide fast, close racing.
While the spec underpinnings of the machines ensure even competition, a range of different body styles have been developed for the class, giving competitors the freedom to support the marque of their choosing.
For the nostalgia buffs, there’s the 1940 Ford and FJ Holden reproductions, to the more contemporary Ford Falcon, Holden Commodore and Cruze, Toyota Aurion,
Nissan Altima, Hyundai Elantra, Euro GT, Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang - there truly is something for everyone in the mix.
While a tightly controlled parity process has seen the cars evenly matched in terms of lap times, the Mustang has proven to be a popular choice amongst series champions in recent times, with Joel Heinrich, Josh Anderson and Justin Ruggier claiming titles, while Kody Garland on top of the pandemicshortened 2021 season.
Up front, propelling the machines is a motorcycle-derived 1.3-litre, 135 BHP twin-cam 16 valve engine that revs to 11,500 RPM, while the total package tips the scales at only 500kg, resulting in a potent power-to-weight ratio.
In a change for the category, chassis are now being produced by Triple Eight
Race Engineering, with the first example debuting recently at the season-opening event in Sydney.
This year’s Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series will be once again held over seven rounds, with four contested at Repco Supercars Championship events spread around the country.
Coming into this weekend, Joel Heinrich tops the points table on 246, ahead of Mason Harvey (229), Kody Garland (229), Caleb Paterson (219), Brandon Madden (214), Cody McKay (209), Reece Chapman (207) and Andrew Corish (207).
Following the Gold Coast, the season is rounded out on the streets of the Adelaide Parklands in November alongside the bp Adelaide Grand Final, with the title no doubt going down to the wire. ■
