Hi to all you Supercars Fans around the world!
On the 27 – 30 November 2025 was the BP Adelaide Grand Final, the final event for the season.
The Adelaide Street circuit was first opened on the 31st of October 1985, so this year marks its 40th anniversary.
Supercars had their first event here in 1999 and has been part of the season every year except 2021. That was due to COVID 19.
This year it was Round 13 and the final event of the 2025 Supercars Championship.
In the pre-race sessions:
- Cameron Waters was fastest in Practice 1
- Cameron Waters was also fastest in Practice 2
- Broc Feeney was fastest in Qualifying
In Race 32 Broc Feeney started on pole position, alongside him was Chaz Mostert.
Broc Feeney took the lead from the start line for the first of 32 laps. Chaz Mostert, Cameron Waters and Ryan Wood followed close behind. Chaz Mostert passed Broc Feeney at turn 9 but Feeney took back the lead at the next corner. They took turns at passing each other over the opening laps.
While the two drivers battled with each other, Brodie Kostecki snuck through to take the lead on lap 3.
He held the number 1 spot and by the middle of the race Brodie Kostecki had a 2.1 second lead over Chaz Mostert. It was a further 6.2 seconds back to Ryan Wood in 3rd place.
As they passed the race halfway mark, the rain started to come down a lot heavier.
On lap 20 Thomas Randle hit the wall at turn 8 and became stranded by the time he reached the next bend. The yellow flag went up, and the safety car was deployed.
Meanwhile the “course car” checked track conditions. The heavy rain was deemed too dangerous to continue and the race went from yellow to red.
The race never restarted so ended at lap 21 and Brodie Kostecki was announced as the winner.
Race 32 results:
1st Brodie Kostecki – Shell V-Power Racing Team
2nd Chaz Mostert – Walkinshaw Andretti United
3rd Ryan Wood – Walkinshaw Andretti United
In Race 33 Broc Feeney started on pole position with Aaron Cameron alongside him.
As they took off Broc Feeney got the lead in the first of 78 laps.
At turn 5 Aaron Cameron pulled off a magnificent manoeuvre around the outside of Feeney to take the lead.
Ryan Wood also managed to slip by to take second place. Broc Feeney was now pushed back to 3rd.
After a few more bends Ryan Wood took the race lead off Aaron Cameron.
On lap 6 Broc Feeney reported to his team that he had a misfire in the engine.
Ryan Wood recorded the quickest lap of a 120.519 seconds on lap 7.
On lap 9 Aaron Cameron hit the wall coming out of turn 3 which damaged the car. He was able to get the car out of the way under his own power and headed to the pits. The car damage was too severe to repair immediately so was withdrawn from the race.
At around this time James Golding received a 5 second pitstop penalty from race stewards for a false start at the beginning of the race.
Ryan Wood still had the lead followed by the two Red Bull Ampol Racing drivers, Broc Feeney and Will Brown.
On lap 28 Ryan Wood ran the fastest lap, 120.093 seconds.
Ryan Wood held the lead till the final stages of the race. Broc Feeney had been chasing him for 10s of laps and finally found his opportunity to take over. There were 3 drivers ahead of him, but they still had to take their mandatory pit stops.
Once the 3 drivers took their pit stops Feeney was truly in the lead.
While Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood were battling it out over 2nd and 3rd, Feeney edged away from the pack.
Ryan Wood was running low on fuel and instructed to ‘conserve’. Regardless, he still managed to continue his battle with Chaz Mostert while Feeney’s speed inched him further ahead.
Feeney’s lead was secured. He was well ahead of the others and under no threat. He just had to ensure he made no errors of his own.
By the time he crossed the finish line he had a 16+ seconds lead over Chaz Mostert. Ryan Wood came in 3rd place less than 1 second later.

Race 34 was the final race for the weekend and the season. The points based on the new ‘knockout finals rounds’ were close together. This, the final race was the make or break moment for the 2 remaining drivers of the finals, Broc Feeney and Chaz Mostert.
For the 3rd time out of 3 races at this event, Broc Feeney started on pole position. This was his record breaking 19th pole start for the year, which had contributed to 14 wins this season.
Alongside him on the front line of the starting grid was Matt Payne.
As the lights went green Broc Feeney got the jump off the start line, but Matt Payne led into turns 1 and 2 for the first of 78 laps.
Meanwhile Broc Feeney, the championship leader was battling with Ryan Wood for second and third place. At turn 6 Feeney saw a gap and eagerly attempted to make the pass. However, the aggressive move crowded Wood who did nothing to avoid a collision and Feeney was spun around.
Feeney dropped to 23rd place at the back of the pack. After watching the replays, race stewards issued Ryan Wood with a 15 second time penalty.
Before the first lap finished Jack Le Brocq who was right at the back of the field in 25th place, had his bonnet fly open and block his view. The safety car was deployed.
The safety car was of benefit to Broc Feeney. While under ‘yellow’ flag the cars must stay in formation (no overtaking) behind the safety car and limited to 80kmph. It allowed the pack to compress behind the safety car and Feeney gained several critical track seconds. His opportunity for a championship win was still alive.
The restart on lap 5 still had Matt Payne in the lead followed by Ryan Wood, Anton de Pasquale and Chaz Mostert.
Ryan Wood was not deterred by his earlier incident with Feeney. On lap 9 he recorded the fastest lap so far, 120.181 seconds and was only 0.246 seconds behind the leader Matt Payne.
Broc Feeney was not just dreaming of a championship. He was putting in the work. Between the restart on lap 5 and lap 10 he moved from 23rd place to 14th.
On lap 11 Chaz Mostert passed Anton de Pasquale for third place and was only 1.528 seconds away from the race lead.
With 67 laps remaining there was time for a lot to happen. Could Feeney make it back to the front of the pack? Could Mostert take the lead and not look back?
The first car to pit in this race was Kai Allen on lap 17.
Over the next few laps Broc Feeney managed to move through the field and get by Will Davision for 10th place.

Matt Payne kept the lead. By the time they reached the point of 6 laps to go, he had a tidy 5+ second gap over Chaz Mostert in second.

In the end Matt Payne took the win 5.977 seconds ahead of Chaz Mostert in 2nd place. It was a further 8.841 seconds later that Will Brown crossed the finish line to take 3rd.
