Chaz Mostert blew the Supercars Finals race wide open with a wet weather masterclass on the Gold Coast. Our Saturday daily pod delves into it all. Chaz Mostert's season was on the ropes heading to Surfers Paradise, but he revived his title hopes in spectacular fashion with a dominant wet weather win to book a spot in the semi-finals. That has put a premium on the remaining transfer slots, with Kai Allen, Ryan Wood and Jack Le Brocq below the cut line after dealing with their own challenges on a tough day of racing. David Reynolds, meanwhile, did the most David Reynolds thing ever and delivered a key result right when his future is under the microscope. Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus unpack an action-packed day on the Saturday edition of Speedcafe's daily podcast.
It wasn't as wet and wild as expected, but there were plenty of talking points out of Friday's action in Surfers Paradise. Our daily podcast unpacks it all. Dire weather predictions didn't quite ring true for Friday's on-track action on the Gold Coast with only one of the three Supercars sessions affected by rain. The crucial qualifying session was a dry affair as Anton De Pasquale put an under-fire Team 18 on top ahead of the Shootout. There was a big name – and Finals contender – that missed the Shootout altogether, while a solo debutant did a solid job on the challenging Gold Coast circuit. There was a penalty for Will Brown, more kerb and calendar talk and more. Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus unpack it all in the Friday edition of the daily podcast.
