For the first time ever, a Supercars Champion will be crowned through the all-new Finals series. From the high-flying streets of Surfers Paradise to the treacherous Victorian weather at Sandown, we’ve made it to Adelaide!

And wow, hasn’t it been fun? Both of the Bulls have made it in, and as the only two-car team in the Grand Final at Adelaide. Regardless of the noise, two is always better than one, right? Chaz and Kai will fight on with outside support – and sure, that might be a crucial factor at points across the weekend, but the best man will win on Sunday afternoon, regardless of who sits in their corner.

Adelaide has a special place in Triple Eight hearts. Although gone are the years of JDub, Lowndesy, and SVG carving their name into the Parklands circuit, our current Bulls know how to get around. No one can forget BFeen’s emotional 2022 win as Holden’s last hurrah, while Will shocked the Supercars world by running from last to first, en route to winning his first Adelaide 500 and Supercars Championship.

Will pulled one of the great blinders on the field at Sandown. Qualifying woes continued to plague him, while simultaneously pulling out Usain Bolt-esque race pace to charge his way to 2^nd and 3^rd place finishes. Seriously, the swing of emotions in the garage could be drawn to losing your keys for an hour, only to find them sitting in the door lock, exactly when and where you need them. PHEW. Look for Will to throw the kitchen sink at qualifying this weekend, where a spot inside the shootouts across the weekend could make Brown a serious threat for an extremely timely race win or two.

B-Feen keeps doing what he has been doing all year. A 4^th on Saturday was solid, but not the target. Unhappy, Broc put the #88 on pole and ran a race exactly like he has all year on Sunday. Snapping the #25’s impressive Finals run, Broc’s Sunday race win put him firmly on the front foot. And with points buffer heading to South Australia, Broc’s tremendous 2025 form is one step closer to being rewarded.

However, everything changes next week. 4 has to become 1. 3 races, and 3 chances to lay a hand on the championship trophy. Chaz brings career experience, while Kai brings a heavy underdog status. The rest of the field doesn’t care for a championship win; an Adelaide win can revive anyone’s season with ease.  It all comes down to this, and we can’t wait.

“We’re preparing well. It’s been a massive six weeks with pretty much one weekend between each event. And it’s been extremely busy so we’re trying to prepare as best we can. We’ve had three days to turn the cars around. Broc and I are in the workshop, we’re doing simulator work, debriefs, pre-briefs, getting ready to go. It’s a big week for us. We actually get there on Sunday – we’re there for a week and three days. So it’s a massive week heading into the Grand Final, but it’s looking really exciting. I’m feeling confident going into there. I felt confident going into Sandown. Our qualifying wasn’t where we wanted it to be, but we really raced strongly. Our side of the garage is building confidence going into Adelaide, definitely after our last round.”

“I think on-track stuff, you’ve got to play it by ear. You never know what’s going to happen until you’re in the situation. You qualify on pole and get out in the lead, and none of those team tactics really work. But when you’re coming through the pack like I was, there are always those team tactics you have to watch out for. But generally, the fastest car wins at the end of the day. So, we’ve got to go to Adelaide, trying to put our best foot forward with a really good setup, me driving well, and try and see where we come out. Like I say, it’s down to four guys now. We’ve given ourselves a good shot at actually winning the title again, so hopefully we can come away with a championship.”

“My approach is just to try and get in the shootout each day. I feel like in the shootout we can do a good job and be further up the front. We’re trying to put our finger on our qualifying at the moment, but haven’t figured it out yet. We haven’t been able to pinpoint what it is. So, we are doing a lot of simulator work, we’re looking at setup, we’re looking at our run plans and everything to try and make sure we give ourselves the best shot.”

“I’m just really excited, to be honest. Like, obviously, it’s been an awesome season. But this Finals series is something else. There’s been a lot happening in the first couple of rounds. To make it as the points leader into the last round is super important. I am genuinely just stoked and pumped to go racing. It’s the biggest week of my racing career, probably the biggest week of my life coming up.”

“So, just looking forward to it, ready for what’s to come and just excited.  Adelaide is an awesome track, I love racing there, and I’ve had some great results. Certainly, the past couple of weeks have been a very short turnaround, but just full focus on making sure we’ve got the fastest car possible come next week.”

“Everyone is racing extremely hard, but it’s the pointy end of the season, so you can expect hard racing. The racing has been different when there were ten guys in the final, with seven guys in the final, and now only four guys in the final. You can probably expect the other guys to be racing pretty hard with nothing to lose now. So, it’s going to be exciting for us. I’m not focusing on anyone else apart from ourselves. And I know that when we do the best job we can, we’re capable of good things. And that’s the goal for us, to do the best job that we can. If we can do that, I’ve got no doubt we can go on and win some races.”

The Adelaide Grand Final commences with a single practice session on Thursday, before the boys slug it out for $50,000 on Friday. For more info and the weekend’s on-track schedule, head to the Supercars website.

We can’t wait to see you all there!

Adelaide Grand Final – Practice 1 Results

Will Brown – Car #1

Practice 1 – 7th (1:19.9795)

“One short practice session today, it felt like it went very quickly, it did go very quickly but always a positive to get out on track this early in the week ahead of a big weekend.”

“It felt like we rolled out okay, we ended up seventh there, in the top ten is good, but got a little bit of work to do overnight before things get going tomorrow. Just felt like we were…. we just need to tidy a few little bits and pieces up so we’ll work on that.”

“But overall it was great to get out there. Obviously it’s only a Thursday but the vibe feels great already down here at Adelaide, around the city, around the track, so I’m sure the weekend will only build from here and be a great one. Looking forward to it!”

Broc Feeney – Car #88

Practice 1 – 11th (1:20.1495)

“It’s good to get out there on track, we’ve had a big week here in Adelaide getting ready for the Grand Final, the vibe has been unreal around town and at the track today, and it’s so good to finally get in the car and do some driving.”

“We rolled out ok today but that’s what practice is for, there’s some work to do in getting the car how we want it and ready for qualifying and the race on Friday then set up for the weekend.”

“Track feels good, this is one of my favourite tracks and I love racing here, so great to be back doing laps around Adelaide.”

“We know what needs to be done this weekend, we’ll go make the changes we need to and be ready to roll out tomorrow.”

“Disappointing day, really disappointing day today. Obviously terrible qualifying again, it just doesn’t let you start the race the way you want to and puts you on the back foot straight away. When we’re back in the pack there’s risk of getting caught up and that’s what happened.”

“Got turned around on the first lap, unfortunate even in the wet, but then we had to fight our way back after that. Got up towards the top ten and with some penalties we finish ninth I think for the day.”

“Still third in the standings but it’s tight. Tomorrow we need to go again, qualify well, we keep saying it but it’s time now to do it. Probably need to win tomorrow to stay in it so that’s what we need to go out and do.”

“We made a huge gains overnight which was awesome. Probably struggled a bit more than we thought yesterday and to make a big gain overnight is a credit to the team and a great result for us to go in to the first race with.”

“Went out and got pole position, still a bit of a messy session, still didn’t really feel on top of it throughout qualifying, but to get poll number seventeen was obviously awesome. Didn’t think at the start of the season that would be a thing but to get that record was awesome.”

“Watched the rain come in before the race, fair bit of rain too. Had a decent start, ran up the front for a few laps and then made a bit of a mistake which let some past, but just didn’t have the pace of the front three. So we dropped back a fair bit, need to do some work in understanding what we need to do to be better in these conditions. Obviously we were fast in the wet at Sandown but not quick enough today in the wet.”

“Anyway, lots to learn overnight.
Positive day, we were good in the dry before that rain, we’ll just have a look what the weather is going to do on the weekend then take learnings from today to roll out ready.”

“Today, better qualifying today, in the shootout with sixth is a much better result for us in qualifying then to go out and do our lap and put it in fifth for the race is much better than where we’ve been. Unfortunately for us the shootout times were just getting better and better as the track changed through that session.”

“Getting into the race, got not too bad a start, moved up to I think third at one stage, third or forth but then could see we just didn’t have the pace towards the end no matter how hard we fought. Chaz got me then it was all about keeping Kai behind me. All four finalists up there battling it out was cool, but it was hectic, we’ve all got something to fight for, we were all still in it.”

“Ended up in fourth but behind both Broc and Chaz, so tough old race and tough day but we are still in it and I know we’ll work on the car and come back even stronger tomorrow for one last crack at it. We want to be up there again, we need to be at the front and get that race win to see where that lands us in this battle.”

“Obviously yesterday that poll gave us a lot of confidence going in to today, then it felt like we just made the car better throughout the qualifying session. We got in to the ten and felt good doing it, felt like we could absolutely challenge for pole position and set ourselves up for what I knew was an important race day.”

“Lots of oil down for the start of the shootout, once we got around that we were just able to execute a really good lap, poll by half a second was pretty awesome, it’s another confidence boost for me and in the car for the team.”

“Race start was hectic, I got passed around the outside, got out through the grass and it was jumping everywhere, meant we had quite a few problems in that first part of the race. On top of that we had some technical issues where the engine was sort of cutting out for a bit. As well we took a little bit of damage at the start of the race so all of that and I was really sort of flustered for that first part of the race.”

“We recovered, all came good as we went along and we were able to fight our way forward. To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to have the chance to fight Woody for the win, but the opportunity came up and I took it. 
There was a little hole and I was able to fill it, put the car in there and get the move done, go on to walk away with another win.”

“So stoked, the team, they put me in that position to win the race today so huge credit to them. Obviously one win today, hopefully we go for another one tomorrow, one more that’s what we need. Definitely the goal is to go out and get pole position and try and win the race. First and foremost that’s a goal. We can always make improvements and be better tomorrow, so we’ll go do that, go for the win… the easiest way to score big points is be out front.”

‘Ignition On’ will be the first look at the Red Bull Ampol Racing team’s inaugural Ford Mustang GT of the Gen 3 era following a manufacturer change after the 2025 Supercars season.

Triple Eight Race Engineering announced in January 2025 they will join forces with Ford Racing, commencing a long term, strategic partnership that will see Red Bull Ampol Racing assume duties as the Supercars homologation team for the Ford Mustang GT from 2026 onwards.

Headlined by the unveiling of the Red Bull Ampol Racing team’s Ford Mustang GT, ‘Ignition On’, the free and open to the public fan event on Saturday 7 February at the Geelong Foreshore will feature activations, live demonstrations, appearances by all four Red Bull Ampol Racing team drivers, and a public signing session alongside what will be a high energy and exciting unveiling moment.

Starting at 9:30am local time, fans will be able to interact with activations from some of the team’s partners, Red Bull, Ampol, Century Batteries, National Storage, Quad Lock, Thrifty and Wurth. Players from the Geelong Football Club will be in attendance with Ford and the manufacturer will showcase a collection of new and classic cars from showrooms and motoring clubs across Victoria.

A pre-show will commence prior to the unveiling moment from 11:00am local time, which will take place on Hearne Parade set against a backdrop featuring Geelong’s iconic Cunningham Pier and promenade.

The fan first look at the Red Bull Ampol Racing team’s Ford Mustang GT at ‘Ignition On’ marks a busy lead in to round one of the 2026 Supercars Championship season with testing scheduled at Ipswich and Sydney, and both Broc Feeney and Will Brown driving in the Bathurst 12HR before cars take to the track at Sydney Motorsport Park on February 20 for the season opener.

“Feel for the team today, that was a disappointing way to end, we were both in it Broc and I, we both went in to it today feeling good.”

“Qualifying felt good, we felt fast and it was nice to be up there where we should be again. There were some fast laps that went down.”

“So we started, made up some spots and after that just felt like we were driving around for most of the race. Yeah a bit happened at the start, saw that. Had to focus on my pace and may race but that was disappointing to see on lap one. Finished on the podium. That’s a nice way to end the season but it’s not the way we wanted to finish up. We were in it until the end and wanted it, didn’t get it.”

“We’ve not had the best season, there’ve been things we’ve needed to fight through and things to work on for next season but to come in to the first year of the Finals and get all the way to the end like we did is a plus.”

Jamie Whincup, Team Principal, Red Bull Ampol Racing

“Today, final race of the season and a Championship deciding race, it’s a very difficult one to talk about. I don’t know what to think, to be honest. We had the engine issue with #88 yesterday and then we we changed absolutely everything going in to today,  so we came out this morning thinking it was fine. No issues in qualifying, no issues in the shootout, everything fine. It was going up until lap fifteen then the engine just started to misfire, that put the car five or more abouts seconds off the pace per lap and from then on it’s all over.”

“So ultimately that was the issue, that stopped any fightback that Broc was making. But turn one, I don’t want us to sound like the sore loser, we’re not.”

“We feel like this season and this weekend and for the team we deserved it, we deserved to do well today and be up there. But for one reason or another we didn’t get it. I don’t know why we deserved that, what happened, we didn’t deserve that but that’s what happened.”

“Will did a phenomenal job today to stay in the race and stay in the battle all the way up until the end. To finish on the podium is a well deserved result and caps off a Finals series where he’s shown everyone why we have the faith in him we do as a team.”

“Broc has had an incredible year, one of the standout years for any driver. Today was a disappointing day for Broc, that car and a team who didn’t deserve the season to finish that way. We’ve got to make sure we look after him (Broc), certainly the next day or two because with things like this they can be heavy, they can go either way. Anyone that dedicates everything to a cause and it doesn’t come off, it can go either way. We’ll just monitor him, make sure it goes the way it should go and we want it to go and that he takes great strength from it.”
