Supercars hits the streets of Surfers Paradise this weekend for what promises to be a spectacular penultimate round of the season.
Will Brown’s impressive enduro campaign means he has one hand on the championship trophy and a clean weekend on the Gold Coast would leave him well-placed heading to Adelaide next month.
On the flip side, contenders Broc Feeney and Chaz Mostert will be taking a flat-out approach as they look to close the gap to Brown and keep the title fight alive.
The Gold Coast 500 will be contested across a pair of gruelling 250-kilometre races, one each on Saturday and Sunday.
The formats for both of those days are similar with the grids set with a qualifying session and then a Top 10 Shootout on both days.
