Shane van Gisbergen may hold a commanding lead in the drivers' standings, but it's all to play for in team land.

The 2022 Repco Supercars Championship will prove crucial in determining the pit lane order for the first year of Gen3.

Red Bull Ampol Racing ran away with the teams' title, its 10th, last year.

The Holden squad finished first and second in the drivers' standings, with van Gisbergen champion ahead of Jamie Whincup.

After three rounds in 2021, Triple Eight held a whopping 506-point lead over the Shell V-Power Racing Team.

After three rounds in 2022, the margin between the two leading teams is a meagre 65 points.

Triple Eight is 245 points worse off versus 2021, with the Shell squad 196 points better off.

Van Gisbergen is 62 points worse off than last year; rookie Broc Feeney has scored 183 fewer points than Whincup.

Conversely, Anton De Pasquale has spearheaded Dick Johnson Racing's charge in 2022.

De Pasquale is 197 points ahead of his 2021 total after three rounds.

The only major gain behind them is Erebus Motorsport, which is 108 points to the good versus 2021.

Walkinshaw Andretti United's mantra for 2022 was teams' championship glory; however, it is 47 points worse off in 2022.

DJR drivers occupy second and fourth in the drivers' standings heading to a happy hunting ground in Perth.

The next key step for DJR is converting one-lap speed into victory; the team has five poles in 2022 for no wins.

Shell Fords have won the last six races at Wanneroo Raceway, with Will Davison a three-time winner in Perth.

Drivers will contest three 100-point races in Perth at Wanneroo Raceway later this month.
