After 12 rounds, 24 races, 2 countries, and soon-to-be 7 states, 2024 has been a serious whirlwind but one we’ve loved being a part of. However, it all comes down to two. Lucky for us, it’s our two Bulls. As a team and as competitors, there are not too many better storylines heading into this weekend. A Teams’ Championship wrapped up post-Bathurst, and a Drivers’ Championship to be won by either of the Bulls this weekend. How. Bloody. Good.
We began our 2024 with an almost fairytale start back at the Bathurst 500, where both the bulls shot out the blocks to dominate the first of the year, including Will’s pole in his first go in Red Bull Ampol colours. The Grand Prix down in Melbourne is always a treat, and the Bulls carried their form from Bathurst to finish the weekend with an average team finish of 2nd.
Supercars made a sensational return to NZ, where Taupo showed its true force with a 4-season weather display across the weekend. Despite a slippery and cold Saturday race, the Bulls righted the ship for one of the season’s best on-track battles of the year on Sunday. The series jetted back all the way over to Western Australia for Round 4, where the podiums kept coming amidst a rise in competition.
BFeen put an extraordinarily large full stop to that chatter, as he dominated the Indigenous round in Darwin, sweeping both races with Will in tow. Townsville caught the fellas out, as BFeen battled to a pair of sevenths, and despite a podium on Saturday, Will fell to his worst result of the year on Sunday.
We returned to New South Wales under the bright lights of Sydney Motorsport Park, where in need of another test day, the Bulls pushed on before heading south to Tassie. While boxing gloves weren’t exactly needed, Tassie certainly lived up to the hype as the Bulls scampered to a podium each.
Sandown saw the return of the Goat and the emergence of an old friend, as Jamie and Scotty joined the Bulls for an attack at the 500. Will scored himself a pole and arguably the most important win of this year’s campaign. BFeen and JDub were right in behind and followed the #87 boys’ home for a massive 1-2 finish (We can’t miss the ever-evolving Craig Lowndes and rookie Cooper Murray’s mega 5th place as well!).
Back to Bathurst we went, and after a missed apex on Thursday, the Bulls were on pace for a big result at the 1000. The question of athletics amongst drivers vanished, as the #1 and #88 threw down qualifying lap after qualifying lap for the fastest running of the 1000 ever, interrupted only by a singular safety car. A 2-3 finish and a massive stack of points saw the team secure its 13th Teams’ Championship two rounds early.
It felt like a blink of an eye before we were back on track, not flying down Conrod, but swinging off the kerbs at the infamous Gold Coast 500. There is something truly special about seeing these cars charge around Surfer’s Paradise. A consistent weekend for both the #87 and #88, alongside some untimely misfortune for others, meant we left the Gold Coast with only two in contention. The only two that matter to us.
It is easy to sit and reflect while looking at the weekend to come, and although Will has a 180-point advantage over BFeen, Adelaide is one of the toughest bullrings, even without the addition of championship implications. It has played host to some of the biggest stories in recent years (Hard to believe it, but times flies don’t it Will? 
), and this weekend one of our Bulls are about to write their own story into Supercars history. Go give em’ hell Bulls!
“I’m looking forward to getting down to Adelaide and getting into the final round. We’ve worked hard all year to be in the position we are in, so I’m very fortunate to be leading. But you can never get ahead of yourself in this game. We’ve just got to put our best foot forward and try to get some good results. I think it’s one of those things when you lead a championship. You’ve just got to take things as a normal weekend, even though it isn’t quite a normal weekend. We will be aiming to win a race or two down there, which is the main goal. I’ve had some really good runs in Adelaide, and I’ve had some bad runs there, but that’s pretty normal. But I love the track. It’s an awesome event, and it’s a great finale for the series. They put on such a show down there and I’m sure 80% of it is on-track, but all the off-track stuff is just so exciting, even more so this year.”
“I’m excited to go back to Adelaide. It’s been a really happy hunting ground for me. I got my 1st win there in 2022 and then my 2nd win last year. The effort that’s gone in the last few years to get the event to where it is now has been huge, and this year is going to be the biggest yet, so I’m pumped. The championship is going down to the wire. It’s certainly a long shot for me, but my goal is to get the Adelaide 500 trophy back here at home. I love it, I’ve always really enjoyed the track layout. In saying that, it’s a pretty daunting place, but it’s got a lot of character to it. You’re pretty proud when you do a good lap at Adelaide. So, 78 laps in the two races, it’s going to be a fun, but hard race. And it’s a great place to wrap up the championship, but really, I just want to stand on the top step again because it’s been a while.”
The final round of action in 2024 kicks into life on Thursday at 3:15 pm for Practice 1, as we roll into a massive weekend of racing and celebration!
