Feeney produced the standout campaign of his career to that point, claiming 14 race victories and a remarkable 19 pole positions. His season included victory in the inaugural Repco Sprint Cup and a dominant Darwin Triple Crown, where he swept all three races at Hidden Valley. His performances across the year were further recognised with the prestigious Barry Sheene Medal and Jim Richards Award, capping an extraordinary individual season.
Alongside him, Brown continued to deliver at the front, beginning the year as defending Supercars Champion and becoming the first driver in history to win the Larry Perkins Trophy twice after securing back-to-back honours at the Australian Grand Prix. Both Red Bull Ampol Racing drivers ultimately progressed through Supercars’ new Finals format to the Adelaide Grand Final, keeping Triple Eight in contention for the Drivers’ Championship until the final race.
Triple Eight’s combined performance was rewarded with a record-extending 13th Supercars Teams’ Championship. It was a fitting achievement in the team’s final season racing Chevrolet machinery, closing a hugely successful chapter with 16 wins, 20 poles, major individual honours and another Teams’ title before Triple Eight embarked on a new era with Ford in 2026.
