It's an age-old Christmas jingle, and it was a Supercars season for the ages.
We thought we'd put a twist on our 'stats that mattered' article for the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship, but after 13 rounds and 34 wild (and sometimes wet) races, we struggled to narrow it down to 12!
So, what did 2025 offer us, and what could it give us for 2026?
On the first day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
A first championship win for Chaz Mostert

It was a title win that came off the back of a stunning run through the Finals Series, with his final seven races comprising of three wins, three runner-ups, and a fourth. The 33-year-old claimed the title at his 13th attempt, adding to his two Bathurst wins.
On the second day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
Two first-time winners
The rising stars continued to prove their worth in the 2025 season, with two drivers breaking through for maiden race wins early in the season. First up was Cameron Hill, who led home a shock Matt Stone Racing 1-2 finish in Race 6 at Melbourne. Three events later it was Ryan Wood who got his maiden win in Race 13 at Perth.
On the third day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
Three manufacturers in 2026

For the first time since 2019, the battle for manufacturer supremacy in Supercars will be fought out between three different brands. Whilst the Ford and GM battle will continue between the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro, the new player in town is Toyota, who will debut five GR Supras entered by Walkinshaw Andretti United and Brad Jones Racing.
On the fourth day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
Four drivers in contention

The new Finals Series left us with four drivers in championship contention entering the bp Adelaide Grand Final. What followed was an epic finale that threw up an incredible amount of drama, ensuring the title race went down to the wire in a dramatic finale.
On the fifth day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
Five new rookies

The wave of youth will take over the grid in 2026, with the largest rookie crop since 2018 coming into the sport. Rylan Gray, Zach Bates, Jobe Stewart, Jayden Ojeda, and Jackson Walls all come into the main game with runs on the board in Super2, and will be eager to prove their worth in the main game.
On the sixth day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
Six Bathurst wins for Tander

On a wet and wild day in Mount Panorama, the experience of Garth Tander and the youthful exuberance of Matt Payne stood tall to claim a remarkable win from 18th on the grid. In what would prove to be Tander's final career start, a sixth Bathurst win seemed a fitting end to a legendary career.
On the seventh day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
Seven titles for WAU

By virtue of Mostert's drought-breaking title, the Walkinshaw organisation have now won seven ATCC/Supercars drivers' championships. Mostert joins Craig Lowndes (1996, '98, '99) and Mark Skaife (2000-02) as the only drivers to win championships driving for Walkinshaw.
On the eighth day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
Eight different winners

At the end of a highly competitive season, eight different full-timers took to the top step of the podium. Feeney led the way with a remarkable 14-win season, ahead of Payne (five), Mostert (four), Cam Waters, Brodie Kostecki (both three), Will Brown (two), with first-time winners Hill and Wood rounding out the group.
On the ninth day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
Nine different pole winners

Despite Feeney claiming a record 19 pole positions in a single season, there were more drivers who claimed pole positions than race wins. Joining Feeney as pole winners in 2025 were Kostecki, Wood, Payne, Brown, Mostert, Thomas Randle, and David Reynolds.
On the tenth day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
10 teams on the podium

Putting a full stop on how tight the field was in 2025, 10 out of the 11 teams on the grid claimed podium finishes this year. There was a maiden podium for the Blanchard Racing Team in Perth, whilst PremiAir secured a maiden Bathurst podium, and if it weren't for Cooper Murray's late heartbreak at Bathurst, Erebus would've completed the set of teams on the podium.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
11 Fords in 2026

Fords ranks swell in 2026, with Triple Eight effectively replacing WAU among their line-up. With SCT Motorsport joining the two Red Bull Ampol Racing entries, it takes the Ford battalion up to 11 Mustangs next year. With eight Camaros and five Supras to complete the field, it marks the first time since the mighty Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth dominated ATCC grids of the late 1980s that the Blue Oval has such weight in numbers.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, Supercars gave to me...
12 Sprint Cup race wins for Broc Feeney

It was a Repco Sprint Cup to remember for the Red Bull Ampol Racing young gun, who won it at a canter in Ipswich. After only winning three of the first 13 races, Feeney was in a different league to end the sprint portion of the season, winning nine of the last 11 to romp to the first-ever berth in the Finals Series.
