It’s back to the regular season for the Repco Supercars Championship, with a return to single-driver events until the end of the season starting at the Boost Gold Coast 500 this weekend.
The form guide of 2023 so far suggests an Erebus or Triple Eight victory, but will the Fords featuring new aerodynamic changes be a match?
Brodie Kostecki in his Coca-Cola Racing by Erebus Chevrolet Camaro holds a comfortable 131-point lead in the standings, but discount Red Bull Ampol Racing’s Shane van Gisbergen at your peril.
Coming off a third Bathurst 1000 victory, the New Zealander enjoys good momentum heading to the Gold Coast in what is his second last Supercars event before heading to NASCAR.
Add in their respective team-mates in Will Brown and Broc Feeney, who will be partnered together at Red Bull Ampol Racing in 2024 and it leaves an interesting scenario of whether to play tail gunner or enhance their own title options.
The Shell V-Power Racing Team is another squad riding high after the Mountain where Anton De Pasquale and Tony D’Alberto took third. Is this Ford’s event to shine?
Mobil 1 Optus Racing’s Chaz Mostert, De Pasquale’s team-mate Will Davison alongside Penrite Racing duo David Reynolds and Matt Payne form a strong Blue Oval attack on the Gold Coast.
