The longest active winless streaks heading into 2022

Four drivers on this year's grid are aiming for their first wins since 2016 when the new season commences in Sydney.

James Courtney, Tim Slade, Will Davison and Mark Winterbottom are among the sport’s most successful drivers.

However, they all share something in common; they haven’t won in six years.

Courtney, the 2010 champion, currently has the longest winless streak of drivers who have won a race with 174 starts.

Then driving for the Holden Racing Team, Courtney won the second race of the 2016 season in Adelaide. He hasn’t won since.

Slade scored his two career victories at Winton. Later in the 2016 season, Davison won the Great Race, before Winterbottom won at Pukekohe.

Seven drivers on this year’s grid won a race in 2021. Shane van Gisbergen won 14 of them and the title, the last of his wins coming in Sydney.

Chaz Mostert and Lee Holdsworth combined to win the last start Repco Bathurst 1000 in December.

Grove Racing recruit Holdsworth was Mostert’s co-driver at Walkinshaw Andretti United, and scored his first since since Winton 2014.

Will Brown and Andre Heimgartner became the latest winners when they won last season. They are now in the one-win club, and will be looking for more in 2022.

Leaving that club was Anton De Pasquale, who won six races in 2021, five of them coming at Sydney Motorsport Park.

James Courtney (C) hasn't won since Adelaide 2016

Of 25 full-time drivers, 10 have yet to win a race. Todd Hazelwood leads the way with most starts without a win for an active driver with 124.

Behind Hazelwood are Macauley Jones (111), Chris Pither (102), Garry Jacobson (96), Jack Smith (70) and Bryce Fullwood (66).

Paul Weel holds the record with most races without a win (226) ahead of Brad Jones (225), John Faulkner (220) and Tony D'Alberto (212).
