Supercars: Supercars title race heats up after Townsville drama.
The 21-year-old New Zealander started on the front row for the Sunday curtain-closer in Adelaide, running champion elect Brodie Kostecki to just over 0.03 seconds for pole position .
Grove’s story is reflective of that of most teams this year bar perhaps Triple Eight. The field is closer in the second season of Gen3, meaning small differences can lead to big differences on the track and results can look chaotic. But Grove is locked in a super tight battle for second in the teams standings. It’s fourth in the order by only 117 points off WAU in second and 112 behind Tickford in third.
“Then that builds confidence in the ability to pass, and if you’re passing all of the time, you’re fairly assertive. You’re not going, ‘Maybe I will, maybe I won’t’ and the other car is not sure, and that’s where you have a crash.Payne hoped that the result would bode well for the rest of the season, with five of the last six rounds comprising long races or endurance events.
It comprises mostly longer, faster corners that challenge set-up and the tyres, and the quality of the surface is also a massive challenge.
