Triple Eight retains Live Pit Lane lead despite tough Taupō

A winless trip to Taupō wasn't enough to dislodge Triple Eight Race Engineering from the top of pit lane for the next round at Symmons Plains.

Triple Eight arrived in New Zealand with a 165-point lead over Tickford Racing, with the Chevrolet team's lead extending to 197 points after the three Taupō races.

A second for Cam Waters in Race 8 was the only podium across both teams in the three races, with Will Brown's 14-round streak of podiums coming to an end.

Brown was lucky not to lose his drivers' championship lead after escaping penalty over a pit lane speed breach, which was investigated and cleared post-race.

Walkinshaw Andretti United and Dick Johnson Racing retain the third and fourth sets of garages respectively for Tasmania, with Penrite Racing jumping Matt Stone Racing to fifth courtesy of Matt Payne's excellent weekend.

Another winner from New Zealand was Brad Jones Racing, which moved ahead of Team 18 into seventh. The four BJR cars will line up ahead of Team 18, with PremiAir Racing, Erebus Motorsport and Blanchard Racing Team rounding out the field.

The 2025 Repco Supercars Championship will resume at the Snowy River Caravans Tasmania Super 440 on May 9-11. Tickets are on sale now.
