Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 2026

Hi to all you Supercars Fans around the world!

On the 23 – 25 October 2026 was the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500.

It was round 12 of the 2026 Supercars Championship and included races 31 and 32 of the season.

The Gold Coast 500 is run on the Surfers Paradise street circuit in Queensland.

This year marked the 32nd running of a Supercars Championship round on the streets of the Gold Coast. Supercars first raced here in 1994.

The weekend began with rain and showers which hung around all day Friday and Saturday with Sunday being cloudy but dry.

The pre-race sessions went ahead through the wet weather.

The drivers that were not in finals contention could push their cars hard but drivers in the finals had to take less risks with a championship on the line.

For Race 31 Broc Feeney started on pole position with Chaz Mostert alongside him.

The race started under safety car because of the treacherous rainy conditions. They did 3 laps before being released into racing mode.

Broc Feeney led the way followed by Chaz Mostert, Anton de Pasquale and Andre Heimgartner.

Early on Chaz Mostert was proving that last season’s championship win was no fluke. Chaz Mostert took the lead and quickly had 2.7 seconds over Broc Feeney. Then Anton de Pasquale also passed Broc Feeney.

By lap 15 Chaz Mostert had a 10+ seconds lead. Anton de Pasquale and Broc Feeney were still holding 2nd and 3rd.

Broc Feeney was struggling and pitted on lap 22. He rejoined in 15th position.

In the middle of the race James Golding was the final driver to take his first mandatory pit stop. Once again Chaz Mostert was out the front and had a 3.7 seconds lead.

The drivers behind him had changed order. David Reynolds was now in 2nd place and Matt Payne was in 3rd.

With 9 laps remaining, Will Brown and Matt Payne received a 5 second time penalty each for exceeding track limits.

After Mostert took his final pit stop he returned to the track with several cars ahead of him. These drivers were running out of time to take their final stops. Once they did, Chaz Mostert resumed the lead.

Mostert is a fast driver and comparatively faster than most in the wet. He kept up his brilliant form and managed to break away from the pack          

By the time he crossed the finish line he had a whopping 23.461 seconds lead over David Reynolds in second place.

Matt Payne was only 0.862 seconds behind in 3rd.

In Race 32 Broc Feeney once again started in pole position. Alongside him was his teammate, Will Brown.

Broc Feeney took the lead for the first of 85 laps. Will Brown and Aaron Cameron were in 2nd and 3rd.

Anton de Pasquale received damage at the first turn.

Later in the lap, de Pasquale’s teammate David Reynolds received car damage after colliding with a tyre bundle. Jack le Brocq got caught up in Reynolds’ mayhem and the right rear was hanging off.

Before the lap was over the safety car was deployed to clean the track from Anton de Pasquale’s incident.

David Reynolds had to wait out on track while Anton de Pasquale got repairs in their shared pit stop garage.

The restart was on lap 7 with Broc Feeney still in control followed by Will Brown and Aaron Cameron.

Jack le Brocq was a lap down in 23rd place.

On lap 11 Jobe Stewart pulled into the garage with gear box problems after leaving the track earlier in the race. The repairs were time consuming and he never made it back onto the track. He was the only NC (Not Complete) in the race.

Chaz Mostert took his first mandatory pit stop from 5th place. A rattle gun failure cost him a lot of time and he came back down in 17th. Not only that but after some investigation, Mostert received a penalty for the crew dropping the car while they were still filling fuel.

Towards the end of the race Broc Feeney still had control, followed by Brodie Kostecki and Chaz Mostert. Jarrod Hughes was annoying Ryan Wood in 4th place. All drivers had completed their 2 mandatory pit stops and it was now a race to the checkered flag.

At one stage Chaz Mostert closed in on the back of Brodie Kostecki in a battle for second and third position.

With 4 laps to go Broc Feeney was 5.4 seconds clear of Brodie Kostecki. Mostert slipped further back and was no longer able to challenge 2nd place.

Broc Feeney crossed the finish line with a 6.9 second win over Brodie Kostecki in 2nd place. A little over 14 seconds later Chaz Mostert came in 3rd.

This was Broc Feeney’s 33rd career win. As a bonus it was his first win in his home territory of the Gold Coast. What a great result.

1st Broc Feeney – Red Bull Ampol Racing
