'Go the boys!': Randle gets Supercars pole in Tasmania
Thomas Randle has snared pole for the first Supercars race in Tasmania, while Broc Feeney will be at the front for the second after back-to-back qualifying sessions. The Tickford driver shot up the order at Symmons Plains Raceway with a last-gasp effort, pipping Triple Eight rival Feeney by just 0.008 seconds to secure his first pole of the season. "Yeah, boy! Go the boys, go the boys!" Randle said over the team radio. Feeney returned the favour in the following session, going 0.129 seconds faster than Randle - who had beached himself - to secure pole for Saturday's second 120km sprint. Randle will be looking to break through for his first career win and make amends in Tasmania after his last visit ended in drama. Then fourth place after starting from pole, Randle 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. Brodie Kostecki emulated Randle after the first qualifying session to apologise to Walkinshaw Andretti United youngster Ryan Wood. Dick Johnson Racing driver Kostecki was slapped with a four-grid penalty after making contact with Wood at the turn-four hairpin. Kostecki will start the first race ninth after finishing fifth-fastest, while Wood was forced to settle for eighth. For the second sprint, Kostecki qualified 21st and Wood 19th. The red flag was brought out halfway into the first 10-minute portion of Q1 when Erebus rookie Cooper Murray lost control of his car at turn one. Murray had crashed through two foam trackside signs before spinning into the gravel. "I can now say I'm finally awake," Murray joked. Defending champion Will Brown will start fourth and 13th after requiring significant repairs following a collision late in practice on Friday. Matt Stone Racing driver Nick Percat had hit the rear of Brown's Camaro as they entered pit lane and collided again after the Triple Eight racer applied the brakes. Percat, claiming over the team radio that Brown had tried to brake test him, was fined $3000 for reckless driving. Walkinshaw Andretti United heavyweight Chaz Mostert was among several drivers who suffered slow tyre leaks and will start 19th and 12th. Grove racer Matt Payne, after winning two of three races in New Zealand, qualified dead-last in 24th and 11th respectively. The first 120km sprint on Saturday gets underway at 12.05pm (AEST).

Masterful Mostert fends off Kostecki for Supercars win
Supercars championship contender Chaz Mostert has pulled off a masterful drive in New Zealand to outpace a red-hot Brodie Kostecki and claim the second Taupo 440 sprint. Left smarting after finishing a frustrating 13th earlier on Saturday, Walkinshaw Andretti United ace Mostert got the jump on pole-sitter Kostecki in the second 120km race of the day on his way to career win No.25. But his win did not come easy. Kostecki remained dogged throughout the 37-lap race, trading leads with Mostert before a brief dip off-track late in the sprint eventually forced him to give up top spot. "I raced as hard as I could," Mostert said. "I knew he had the better pace, so I had to be super aggressive ... or I wasn't going to have a chance to sit here (on top) today." Kostecki gave up even more ground after suffering damage as a result of his run-ins with Mostert, but recovered to finish third. Dick Johnson Racing teammate Will Davison was second, as Triple Eight heavyweight Broc Feeney, battling to master the new soft tyre compound, tumbled out of the top three. It is Supercars veteran Davison's first podium finish in a year, last finishing in the top three in the inaugural Taupo race last season. He said his Saturday outing with Kostecki is only a glimpse of what is to come from the pair. "It's real," Davison said. "At certain times of every weekend this year, I've felt, like, mega glimmers with the car and its potential. "Such a big drive by Brodie. Such an amazing teammate, such an amazing driver for me now to keep digging deep, keep me on my toes as the old boy." KOSTECKI AND MOSTERT TRADE BLOWS 🥊💥Follow along this weekend with our Live Feed and new Live Insights feature 👉 #Supercars — Supercars (@supercars) April 12, 2025 Feeney finished fifth after qualifying in third. His teammate and defending champion Will Brown also struggled with the new tyre, finishing seventh. Brown at least returned to the top of the series standings, with Tickford rival Cam Waters finishing 14th. New Zealand's Matt Payne, after claiming a first win on home soil in the opening sprint of the weekend, crossed the finish line in fourth. He had earlier on Saturday led from start to finish in the opening sprint race to claim his third career win from his third career pole. Waters was the beneficiary of pit-lane chaos and finished second to momentarily return to the top of the competition. Young Kiwi driver Ryan Wood overtook Team 18's Anton De Pasquale in the penultimate lap to finish third and secure his first Supercars podium.

Waters kicks off new Supercars era with Sydney win
Tickford star Cam Waters has kicked off a new Supercars era with a blistering sprint win as Triple Eight endured a nightmare outing at the Sydney 500. Dominant all Friday, Waters pulled off a perfect drive from pole position to take the chequered flag at Sydney Motorsport Park for his 16th career win. So dominant was Waters in his first victory at the Sydney track, he enjoyed a 16.849-second buffer over second-placed Walkinshaw Andretti United star Chaz Mostert. The Tickford ace launched himself to the top of the standings in the inaugural Sprint Cup series, the first phase of three in the massive format revamp which will end in a final series. His teammate Thomas Randle rounded out the podium after he outmanoeuvred Grove Racing's Matt Payne late in the race. Triple Eight young gun Broc Feeney looked primed to get the jump on the pole-sitter at the starting gun, but Waters was clinical on the inside. A punctured left-rear wheel in lap 12 forced Feeney to relinquish his hold on second place, with the 22-year-old slumping to a disappointing finish in 14th. Feeney's Triple Eight teammate and defending champion Will Brown suffered a similar misfortune with his tyres. Brown had been made to accept a sub-standard starting position in 11th after locking up his tyres in qualifying, but was able to at least climb to fifth. DRAMA FOR FEENEY WITH A FLAT 🤯Follow all the action from the Thrifty Sydney 500 with our Live Feed here 👉 #Supercars — Supercars (@supercars) February 21, 2025 Brodie Kostecki was sixth in his first race in the Dick Johnson Racing car after qualifying fourth. PremiAir Racing driver James Golding's tough week continued, finishing 22nd after starting 24th. After his car was engulfed by fire in testing earlier in the week, Golding's blistering qualifying lap was cut short after he was caught up behind Brad Jones Racing's Macauley Jones. Jones was forced to the back of the pack after accepting a three-grid car penalty for impending Golding. RACE ONE RESULTS: 1. Cam Waters (Tickford Racing) 2.
