It comes down to this Brock VS Brown for the Supercars Championship
The Supercars championship season is set for a thrilling conclusion at the Adelaide 500, where teammates Will Brown and Broc Feeney of Triple Eight Race Engineering will go head-to-head in a high-stakes title showdown. After an intense season, Brown leads the standings by 180 points over Feeney, with a maximum of 300 points left to claim over the weekend’s two races. Both drivers are hunting for their first championship title, but the scales are tipped slightly in Brown’s favor thanks to a season marked by unparalleled consistency.
While Feeney has clinched the most wins this year, Brown has built his points lead through a steady stream of podium finishes, securing at least one podium spot at every race weekend this season. A single podium in Adelaide would not only secure Brown the title but would also place him in an exclusive league as the first driver in 40 years—and only the sixth in Supercars history—to podium at every round, a feat last achieved by racing legend Dick Johnson in 1984.
Despite the points gap, Feeney remains hopeful yet realistic. On the Supercars’ *Drivers Only* podcast, he acknowledged that “it’s Will’s to lose,” adding, “I’m a very long shot, but it’s not over until it’s over.” For Feeney to stay in the fight until Sunday’s final race, he needs to outscore Brown by at least 30 points on Saturday. This means anything less than a podium finish for Brown on Saturday would keep the title within reach for Feeney. If Feeney were to win both races this weekend, Brown would need a total of 121 points—equivalent to 14th place in both races—to secure the title.
The Adelaide 500 is set to offer two races, with each win worth 150 points. This scoring format gives Feeney a mathematical chance to overhaul Brown’s lead but requires flawless performance under the spotlight. If Brown slips up even slightly, Feeney could swoop in to seize the title, making for one of the most electrifying finales in recent Supercars history.
The first practice session takes place on Thursday afternoon, kicking off the much-anticipated Adelaide 500 weekend. With both drivers hungry for victory and a championship title within reach, this final showdown promises high drama and intense competition on the legendary Adelaide street circuit. Fans are in for a gripping spectacle as the two teammates battle for the ultimate Supercars prize, with history potentially on the line for Will Brown.
