Triple Eight 2025 season review: Big prizes prove elusive before big Ford move

As 2025 winds down, Supercars.com is looking over all 11 teams and their performances in this year's Repco Supercars Championship, concluding with Red Bull Ampol Racing.

In a season that produced 16 race wins and 20 pole positions, Red Bull Ampol Racing heads into the summer without a drivers' championship or Peter Brock Trophy.

Broc Feeney was incredible, dominating the Repco Sprint Cup portion of the season, while Will Brown never gave up despite struggling to match his teammate's performance.

Both drivers found the barriers in tough conditions in Bathurst, and despite a number of hiccups in The Finals, Feeney and Brown both qualified for Adelaide.

As fate would have it, tears flowed as Feeney's Camaro coughed its way home in the finale, handing the title to Chaz Mostert and Walkinshaw Andretti United. In a year that delivered so many smiles and headlines, there's no doubt missing out on the biggest individual prizes will sting.

What's next in 2026?

Despite Bathurst and championship heartbreak, Triple Eight again showed in spades that it is the benchmark team, cantering to another teams' championship.

As other teams faltered, there was one constant in 2025: two Red Bull Ampol cars fighting for trophies. Expect nothing less next season.

The blockbuster move to Ford will create a busy summer workload, but if there's one team that can turn it into results, it's Triple Eight. Look back to 2010, when the team nailed a perfect start to its first season with Holden.

If the team doesn't roll out in Sydney in February with two fast Fords, they'll be disappointed. They are the best problem solvers in pit lane. For any question marks over the Ford move, you'd be brave to bet against Triple Eight getting both drivers to Adelaide once again.

There are big personnel changes to get used to, though, Notably, team boss Jamie Whincup has stepped aside for Nick Percat. The team has also stepped away from Super2, meaning it's all hands on deck in the main game.

That has allowed for Triple Eight's expansion to three Ford Mustangs, as the SCT Motorsport entry moves across from Brad Jones Racing, and rookie Jackson Walls steps up from the shuttered Super2 program.

Triple Eight will also have to contend with Roland Dane being a rival team boss at PremiAir Racing. Expect no backwards steps from Whincup or Dane as they go head-to-head for the first time.
