Cam Waters has won Saturday’s Supercars race at the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 in dominating fashion.
It is the Mildura native’s fourth win of the 2024 season, the most he has won in a single season.
Waters’ teammate Thomas Randle finished second in Tickford Racing’s first 1-2 finish since 2017, coincidentally the Saturday race on the Gold Coast, when Chaz Mostert led Waters home.
It’s a repeat effort for Waters, who won the Saturday race from pole in 2023 as well.
Randle’s runner-up finish equals his career-best. The 28-year old was followed closely by Gold Coast local Broc Feeney, who finished third in his first career podium at his home race.
After a crash in qualifying this morning, championship leader Will Brown received to finish sixth, and now holds a 171-point lead over Feeney in the standings.
The fastest car on track at a number of points during the race, Chaz Mostert’s hopes at victory were scuppered by a suspected electronic issue.
The Gold Coaster lost precious seconds in the pit lane on both of his pit stops as his Mustang bizarrely slowed to a near stop as the car struggled to engage its pit lane speed limiter.
At times looking like a serious threat for victory, Mostert finished 10th and is now 243 points adrift of Brown.
The party continues tonight as Kingswood, Spiderbait, and Jet hit the stage at Club 500 on Macintosh Island inside the circuit.
Another 250 kilometres of racing and 150 points are on offer on Sunday at the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500.
Boost Mobile Qualifying kicks off Supercars action at 10:10 a.m. AEST, with the Boost Mobile Top Ten Shootout for Race 22 beginning at 11:35 a.m.
Like today, Sunday’s race will be 85 laps around the streets of Surfers Paradise, starting at 2:15 p.m.
