Race 32:

This was the first and shortest of the three over the weekend. Broc Feeney had taken pole position for that race, with championship contender Chaz Mostert starting in P2 and Cam Waters in P3. A good start from Mostert saw him initially take the front position from Feeney before losing the position early on.

 

Feeney led until he made a mistake which cost him two positions, Chaz Mostert was leading but with the likes of Brodie Kostecki close behind it was going to be a difficult fight. Kostecki eventually manages to get past Mostert, which forces him to defend against Feeney.

 

NASCAR driver Austin Cindric was able to participate over the weekend, thanks to Tickford Racing and he had a decent weekend given he had never driven in the series before, for this race he managed to finish in P21.

Tickford was hit with an unfortunate double penalty for both of their drivers (Cam Waters and Thomas Randle). A 15 second penalty would stunt all momentum either driver was working with, until the rain began to fall. This was making it very difficult to overtake and even harder to remain on track.


A safety car was called due to a crash involving Thomas Randle and this would turn into a red flag. Ultimately the race would be forced to end early, due to there being significant barrier damage due to that collision. Your winner for race 32 would be Brodie Kostecki, followed by Chaz Mostert in P2 and Ryan Wood in P3.

Race 33:

Broc Feeney took another impressive pole position (18th for the season, later 19), with the young driver Aaron Cameron starting alongside him in P2 and Ryan Wood in P3.

An early overtake opportunity saw Aaron Cameron leading early with Ryan Wood right behind him. Feeney had dropped to P3 and was being challenged for the position by Anton De Pasquale. An early pitstop by De Pasquale, reduced the pressure on Feeney.

 

Despite leading the race, a mistake would ultimately end Cameron’s day, after hitting the wall and being unable to continue. A devastating result for the young driver. This would allow Wood to lead the race.

Chaz Mostert was having a very aggressive race given the moment with Thomas Randle almost costing him his race. He would later pit to undercut Randle.

 

With just over half the race complete, Ryan Wood continued to lead the race with Broc Feeney and Will Brown breathing down his neck. His teammate Mostert was P4 and the other final 4 contender Kai Allen was P5. To ensure track position for those in the final 4 battle, Mostert and brown were some of the first to pit, before Feeney overtook Wood for the lead.

 

12 laps remaining and Feeney was leading ahead of Wood and Mostert but with chaos further down the field, it was going to get interesting. Collisions between Brown, Allen and Randle, Payne would almost cost them the race. Anton De Pasquale ended up with damage and Brown also had minor damage.

 

This race would be fully run and result in Feeney winning and extending his championship lead ahead of Mostert in P2, and Wood in P3. We had one final race to complete and that would be the big decider.

Race 34: The Decider!!

Broc Feeney was continuing to break records managing 19 pole positions in a season. This was just ahead of Matt Payne in P2 and Ryan Wood in P3. An early overtake from Payne would see him lead the race.

 

But the chaos hadn’t begun until Feeney and Wood collide and this sees Feeney drop way out of the top 10. This was a worst-case scenario for him if he wanted to win the championship title. Ryan Wood received a 15 second penalty for the incident and this would have very little implications on his race, but more so affected Feeney’s track position.

By lap 12, Feeney was up to P14 being able to catch the pack ahead of him quite quickly, but this would begin to derail. An engine issue in the car would be the big problem for Feeney with very little himself or the team could do. A pitstop to fix it would’ve cost him the race, so the only choice was to remain on track and hope it would begin to resolve itself.

 

Chaz Mostert was able to get through the pack and up to P2 after overtaking Anton De Pasquale, this would ensure that he would win the title. Given the issue Feeney was facing there was almost no way he could win it, unless a safety car which might’ve helped the case. The Camaro of Feeney was struggling, with loss of acceleration each lap around and we began to think maybe the team was clearing the garage for him.

 

Ultimately your race winner would be Matt Payne with a near perfect race for himself and Penrite to end the season off, followed by Chaz Mostert in P2 and Will Brown in P3.

 

This declared the 2025 title champion as Chaz Mostert, with an exceptional final’s series, but devastation for Broc Feeney who was near perfect week in and week out. A tough championship battle, but a well-deserved title.
