  • 12 of 24 full-time drivers finish all 24 races in 2024

  • Only six previous seasons had five or more drivers with perfect records

  • 12 smashes previous record of seven, set in 2018

The 2024 Repco Supercars Championship was a remarkable show of reliability and driving competence, with a whopping 12 drivers finishing all 24 races.

Champion Will Brown, Broc Feeney, Chaz Mostert, Thomas Randle, James Golding, Nick Percat, Will Davison, Andre Heimgartner, David Reynolds, Mark Winterbottom, James Courtney and Macauley Jones all ended 2024 with perfect records.

With 12 drivers finishing every race, the 2024 season undercuts the previous best of seven, set in 2018 when Scott McLaughlin, Shane van Gisbergen, Reynolds, Scott Pye, Tim Slade, Winterbottom and Garth Tander didn't suffer a DNF or DNS.

In a testament to the Gen3 rules, two of the top three seasons with finish records are both with the new cars. The 2023 season joins 2015, 2016, 2021 and 2022 with five drivers on 100 percent records.

The championship has been contested over multi-race rounds since 1992, with eight seasons (1993, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2007 and 2009) seeing all drivers pick up at least one DNF.

One driver finished every race in 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2013 and 2017, with two in 1994, 1995, 2006 and 2012. Three finished every race in 2011, 2014 and 2020.

The outgoing Winterbottom marked his seventh season without a DNF in 2024, after 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2021 and 2022. Jamie Whincup (six seasons), Rick Kelly (six) and van Gisbergen (five) were also serial race finishers.

The 2018 season was 31 races, while five drivers finished every race in 2015 (36 races), 2016 (29), 2021 (30), 2022 (34) and 2023 (28).

Next season, drivers will see an increase from 24 to 34 races, making finishing every race an even tougher task.

Tickets for the opening round in Sydney, along with the majority of 2025 events, are on sale now.
