Feeney denies Randle maiden Supercars win in Tasmania
Broc Feeney has upstaged Tickford rival Thomas Randle to claim the opening Supercars sprint in Tasmania. Feeney used the side draft on the inside to slingshot himself ahead of pole-sitter Randle on lap 11 of the 120km sprint and set up victory at Symmons Plains on Saturday. The 22-year-old enjoyed a massive 7.937-second buffer over Randle. Brad Jones Racing driver Bryce Fullwood followed Randle to claim his third-ever podium, having claimed his most recent top-three finish at the same racetrack last year. Feeney jumps to third in the championship with his second win of the season, denying Randle a maiden career victory in a restaging of last year's duel. Tensions had flared between the two drivers when Randle had shunted Feeney late in their last visit to Symmons Plains. Randle, then fourth, was trailing Feeney with a handful of laps remaining when he locked his wheels coming into the infamous hairpin and ploughed into the Camaro. Feeney finished 15th and Randle, incurring a 15-second penalty, 18th. Randle was later barred by Triple Eight team manager Mark Dutton from entering their garage to apologise to Feeney after the race. A slow visit to the pit lane dashed fellow Triple Eight driver Will Brown's podium hopes on Saturday, the defending champion made to settle for a finish in fifth. Randle's Tickford teammate Cam Waters crossed the finish line in fourth after qualifying third. Brad Jones Racing driver Macauley Jones was last in 24th after copping a 15-second penalty for spinning Dick Johnson Racing's Will Davison at the hairpin. The second 120km sprint on Saturday gets underway at 3.55pm (AEST). RACE 11 RESULTS: 1. Broc Feeney (Triple Eight Race Engineering) 2. Thomas Randle (Tickford Racing) 3.

Toyota lands second Supercars team for 2026 season
Toyota have unveiled Brad Jones Racing as their second Supercars outfit, leaving General Motors down to four teams for the 2026 season. Brad Jones Racing joins Toyota's testing team Walkinshaw Andretti United in making the jump to the GR Supra. The outfit currently fields four Chevrolet Camaros, driven by Andre Heimgartner, Jaxon Evans, Bryce Fullwood and Macauley Jones. The Supra model has been redesigned in-house to feature a five-litre V8 engine. "I'm a creature of habit, and so change is not always easy," Brad Jones told Fox Sports. "But once I met with the guys and could spend some time understanding them and they took me through their vision, it seemed very clear that this was a great opportunity I couldn't miss. "I think Toyota will be up there or thereabouts. We need to earn our stripes and there'll be a lot of work, but it's a very exciting time for the group." Brad Jones Racing's defection to Toyota comes amid a General Motors rebuild following competition heavyweight Triple Eight's shock move to rival Ford. The remaining Chevrolet teams are Matt Stone Racing, PremiAir Racing, Erebus Motorsport and new homologation team Team 18. Out of the four, only Erebus has won a drivers' and teams' championship. General Motors are also pondering the future of the Camaro, after production ceased last year, and a possible extension to 2027 with Supercars. Toyota will be the first manufacturer other than Ford and General Motors to race in the competition since 2019, when Nissan pulled out of the category. The automotive giant is no stranger to Australia's touring cars circuit, with the GR Cup, featuring Toyota 86 coupes, a longtime support category on the Supercars track. The brand also competes in many motorsport events around the world, including NASCAR and Formula Drift in the United States, Super GT and Super Formula in Japan and Formula Three in Europe.
