Chaz Mostert has made it a double victory on the streets of the Gold Coast, taking his second win in two days in Sunday’s 250km Supercars race.
A late-race Security Automobile interval closed up the pack and left the drivers with a four-lap dash to the flag, by which the Walkinshaw Andretti United Ford driver needed to struggle off a decided Broc Feeney from Triple Eight.
The 2 made contact with a lap to go however Mostert managed to assemble up his momentum and led the Chevrolet Camaro to the flag to take his third win in seven days, after a category victory final weekend within the Indianapolis 8 Hour.
“Immediately’s efficiency is all of the group’s,” stated Mostert, who prevailed by 0.5751s.
“We had been second on the street, this win is for the group. They had been excellent within the pit stops. Broc was super-fast. He confirmed there on the finish how briskly he was, you simply want some luck generally.”
Factors chief Feeney, who began from pole for the fifteenth time this yr, was upset after the race.
“That one actually stings,” he stated.
“We improved so much in a single day and we had been the quickest automotive on the monitor however we bought crushed by gas financial system ultimately. We couldn’t compete with that [re]gas time.”
Third place went to Andre Heimgartner, who made all his floor within the Brad Jones Racing Chevrolet late within the race, even when he needed to struggle off the Grove Racing Ford of Matt Payne and Tickford’s Cam Waters on the ultimate lap of the race.
“It’s been fairly hard- results-wise,” Heimgartner stated after his first podium of 2025.
“To return right here this weekend, it has been a reasonably horrid yr. I had nothing to lose they usually did so I used to be prepared to place them within the fence for that podium.”
The opening 60 laps of the 85-lap race was one of many least attention-grabbing races of the yr. Feeney received the beginning, simply, from Thomas Randle, the Tickford Ford driver pressured to present manner on the first chicane. Mostert adopted forward of Randle’s team-mate Cam Waters. Mostert lacked the track-melting tempo that received him Saturday’s race and Feeney maintained monitor place, and the lead.
The order stayed the identical till the second spherical of pit tops, for these on a standard technique. Mostert made the primary transfer and a lap later Feeney adopted, however like team-mate Will Brown, his left-rear wheel change was a bit sticky and when he resumed, Mostert was forward.
On the different finish of the highest 15, WAU’s Ryan Wooden and Dick Johnson Racing’s Brodie Kostecki pitted early to attempt to discover clear air, each working laborious and each experiencing cool swimsuit failures.
However by the top of the race that they had not made sufficient floor – or any, actually – they usually, and the motive force they had been chasing, Staff 18’s Anton De Pasquale, had been the Finalists eradicated.
De Pasquale triggered the race’s solely Security Automobile when he clattered into James Courtney. He was penalised 15 seconds over the conflict and that dropped him from ninth to sixteenth, and out of the Finals
Regardless of Kostecki’s elimination it was a courageous effort from the DJR crew, after an all-night rebuild of a Mustang that was principally destroyed ahead of the windscreen.
