Top 10 Supercars drivers of 2025: #2 Chaz Mostert
As 2025 winds down, Supercars.com is ranking the top 10 drivers of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship, continuing with Chaz Mostert, who comes in as our #2.
13 years of trying, 13 years of waiting. It all makes that first championship win even sweeter for Chaz Mostert.
It was a glaring omission in a trophy cabinet that features two Bathurst 1000 wins, however with a new path to glory, Mostert and Walkinshaw Andretti United read the playbook better than anyone else.
2024 was perhaps the closest it had come to happening, only for a late season slump to take it away. There would be no repeat this time around.
It was by no means a usual championship campaign, but when it mattered most Mostert delivered in spades, taking Walkinshaw back to the promised land of championship success for the first time in 23 years.

Why we picked him
After his stunning mid-season surge in 2024, many looked towards Mostert as a key contender this year, however it was a rollercoaster opening to his campaign.
However, all along both WAU and Mostert said they were working to a plan, and that plan was solely based on performing in The Finals. Sure enough, come the Elimination Final on the Gold Coast, Mostert emerged as a huge threat to Broc Feeney's dominance.
Mostert's run through The Finals was stunning: 1st, 1st, 1st, 4th, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd. It was a Finals run for the ages, worthy of winning any sporting competition decided by a finals system.
However, it also came against stiff opposition from within, as Ryan Wood established himself as one of the names to watch over the next few years, besting Mostert - himself a 26-time polesitter - in the qualifying head-to-head.
It's this inter-team rivalry that has seen Mostert lift throughout 2025, taking him to heights he's never before hit in his illustrious career.
What we expect next season
Mostert will be wearing the #1 next season, the first time a reigning champion has driven for the Walkinshaw organisation since James Courtney in 2011.
It also means that Toyota will enter Supercars with the #1 on the door, a huge signal of intent that the traditional Ford and GM stranglehold could be under serious threat.
Mostert will be expected to lead the charge for the Japanese manufacturer, though Wood will undoubtedly be nipping at his heels, whilst partner team Brad Jones Racing will have race winners Andre Heimgartner and Cameron Hill at their disposal.
If his form lift in the face of Wood's speed is any indication, Mostert could yet go to another level against the three other race winners within the Toyota stable.
As the second oldest driver on the grid entering the new season, you can only imagine the desire to prove the old dogs can learn new tricks in the face of the youth wave.
