Supercars: Brodie Kostecki has backed up his Bathurst 1000 title with another victory, this time at the Gold Coast 500, winning from pole position.
Will Brown stands on the cusp of history. The 26-year-old has been almost flawless in his first campaign for Triple Eight, having never looked back after taking the lead of the championship at the end of the first weekend in Bathurst .Feeney is in his third year of main-game competition and is the Triple Eight incumbent. He’s won the most races of any driver this season, but the relentless consistency of his new teammate sees him arrive in Adelaide down on points and very much on the back foot.
If he finishes on the podium, the title battle is guaranteed to make it to Sunday regardless of where Brown finishes.The weekend combination is more complicated to distil into finishing positions, but the maths is simple. Really Feeney needs Brown to fail to finish one of the weekend’s race, which he’ll then need to win to inflict maximum damage and give himself a realistic chance at the championship.
But even a big mistake would be fatal for Brown. The points system in Supercars rewards finishing, meaning even 20th-place finish on Saturday would leave Brown defending a comfortable advantage of at least 75 points heading into Sunday.“I’m a very long shot, but I’m one where it’s not over until it’s over.The mountain is steep for Feeney, and putting the gradient into the context of the season makes it look only more acute.
On Saturday in Tasmania he finished third while Brown recovered to seventh after having been knocked out of qualifying 15th thanks to an unfortunate red flag, shrinking the margin by 33 points.
