5 to 1: Ranking 2024's closest finishes and biggest wins

The 2024 Repco Supercars Championship was one of close finishes and blowout victories, as the competitive orders ebbed and flowed in a dramatic season.

There were three competitive finishes that saw first and second split by just 0.7s, while there were three victory margins above nine seconds.

The average winning margin in 2024 was 3.987s, which was largely in part to some of the big wins, three of them coming in the last four races of the season.

Closest finishes

Two of the top five closest finishes in 2024 came at the Grand Prix in Melbourne, with eventual champion Will Brown beating Mark Winterbottom by 0.969s. Brown's victory was aided by a mistake for teammate Broc Feeney, who slipped off the road and let Winterbottom and Matt Payne by. Two days later, Nick Percat turned the tables on Brown, sneaking home by 0.381s in one of the most thrilling races of the year.

Percat later beat a fast-finishing Chaz Mostert by 0.614s in the first Tasmania sprint. Percat, in his first season with Matt Stone Racing, claimed his two wins by a combined margin of 0.995s.

Brown staved off Feeney 0.614s to win the Sandown 500 after a late Safety Car, several races and rounds after Feeney crossed the line 0.390s ahead of Brown in a Safety Car finish at the season-opening Bathurst 500.

What about the biggest victory margins?

Feeney was a class above in Adelaide, smashing the field by a whopping 12.803s in the Saturday race. It was still well down on Adelaide's biggest victory margin, achieved by Craig Lowndes in 2013 to the tune of 20.520s. A day later, Brown was winner by 9.411s over an ailing Mostert, with Feeney penalised despite crossing the line first.

Feeney, meanwhile, was beaten home by Cam Waters by 9.411s in the Gold Coast opener, while Waters was a distant 7.364s behind Sydney finale winner Mostert.

Feeney did, however, win the first Darwin sprint by a whopping 8.676s, in what was one of the most underrated individual performances of the season.
