Officials reviewed wild start after Triple Eight request

The action between Chaz Mostert and Broc Feeney was under scrutiny from lap 1, with Triple Eight Race Engineering calling on officials to look at the Senna Chicane skirmish.

Feeney took Mostert out of the lead on lap 62 of 78 in Sunday's dramatic VAILO Adelaide 500 finale, which was won by champion Will Brown.

Mostert and Feeney were the benchmarks on Sunday, racing away from the field as Brown recovered from his lap 9 spin following contact with Brodie Kostecki.

At the start of the race, Mostert rounded up pole-sitter Feeney through the Senna Chicane, with the Mobil 1 Optus Ford flying over the kerbs and gravel to take the lead.

Triple Eight requested a review of the incident, with Feeney ultimately found to have left "no racing room" to Mostert, who was ahead at the apex.

The report reads: "At the request of Triple Eight Race Engineering, the DRD in consultation with the DSA reviewed broadcast and judicial camera footage of Car 25's overtake on Car 88 at the Turn 1/2 chicane on the first Lap.

"Footage showed that Car 25 was ahead of Car 88 at the apex and through Turn 1. Car 88 left no racing room for Car 25 on the exit of Turn 1 and Car 25 had no alternative but to cut the Turn 2 inside kerb.

"In the circumstances, the DRD determined that the matter did not warrant being referred to the Stewards."

Feeney was later penalised twice, first for an unsafe release, before hitting Mostert at Turn 6. Brown executed a sensational comeback to win ahead of Mostert and Thomas Randle, with Feeney reclassified seventh.

Triple Eight was also fined and docked teams' championship points over a pit lane incident, with a wheel nut rolling into the fast lane during Feeney's fateful second stop.
