PODCAST: Who will win the 2025 Supercars Championship?
Four drivers, three races and one trophy – but form, mindset and momentum could decide who leaves Adelaide as Supercars champion.
With Supercars’ first-ever Grand Final format coming down to three races on the streets of Adelaide, the championship is no longer just about points margins – it’s about execution under pressure. Broc Feeney, Will Brown, Chaz Mostert and Kai Allen all arrive with genuine claims, but each brings different strengths, experience and risk profiles into the weekend.
Check out the popular podcast Race for the Championship for a full preview and all of the week’s latest Supercars news.
On pure form and record, Feeney shapes as the favourite. He has a proven history at Adelaide and a clear belief in both his speed and his situational awareness heading into the most important weekend of his career. He described the circuit as one of his favourites and referenced his recent success there, saying he has “lots of speed, lots of confidence going into Adelaide” after winning both races last year. His raw numbers this season only reinforce that position, pointing out his 13 race wins and 16 pole positions as evidence he knows how to convert speed into results. Critically, Feeney is also shutting out distractions, making it clear he is not focused on the $50,000 Friday prize but purely on championship points and the final trophy. If he executes cleanly across qualifying and all three races, his combination of pace and confidence makes him extremely hard to beat.
Will Brown may not be carrying the same front-running narrative, but his chances are built on experience, team environment and composure under pressure. With both Triple Eight drivers inside the final four, Brown acknowledged there would be no internal favouritism, and that both cars are racing purely for their own championships. He also referenced the lessons learned from last season’s campaign, suggesting that experience in high-pressure title deciders could play a critical role in how he approaches this weekend. Brown’s path to the title is less about outright domination and more about staying mistake‑free while capitalising if Feeney or others run into trouble.
Chaz Mostert enters Adelaide as something of the momentum outsider. While not traditionally favoured across the season, he sees this as a rare opportunity to fight for a championship going into the final round. He acknowledged he has been in the hunt before but never made it to this point, describing his position as “pretty unique”. He has also embraced the new finals structure, pointing out that under the old system Feeney would already have effectively wrapped up the championship, but the current format has kept multiple drivers in contention. His strength lies in race craft and strategic racing, making him particularly dangerous if Adelaide delivers safety cars, unpredictability or strategic twists.
Kai Allen remains the most unpredictable of the four – but also potentially the most dangerous if things fall his way. The rookie has already exceeded his own expectations just by reaching the final four, describing it as “beyond my expectations this year” and admitting it still feels surreal. His home-ground factor adds another dimension, as he spoke about attending the Adelaide event since he was seven years old and now returning to fight for a championship on the same track he grew up watching. Like Feeney, Allen has dismissed any distraction around the $50,000 bonus race, instead keeping his focus firmly on championship execution. His lack of pressure, combined with local support and a nothing‑to‑lose mindset, could make him surprisingly dangerous if the weekend becomes chaotic.
On paper, Feeney holds the strongest position due to his form, speed and Adelaide record. Brown sits poised as the internal Triple Eight threat if his teammate falters. Mostert remains the strategic opportunist who could capitalise on disorder. And Allen carries the emotional and wildcard edge as the home‑state rookie exceeding all expectations.
As Feeney summarised ahead of the weekend, “It’s going to be anyone’s game… the final four are the four best at the moment.” And on the unforgiving streets of Adelaide, that statement may prove to be the most accurate preview of all.
