Chaz Mostert returned Walkinshaw Andretti United to the top of Supercars
Holden Racing Team won six of seven drivers' titles between 1996 and 2002
Dick Johnson Racing won first title in 1981, won latest title 39 years later
Chaz Mostert returned Walkinshaw Andretti United to the top of Supercars, over 20 years after its last title win.
Mostert clinched the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship at the bp Adelaide Grand Final last month.
It was a drought breaker for Mostert, who finally tasted championship success some 12 years after his Supercars debut. It ended an even longer wait for WAU, which celebrated its first drivers title in 23 years.
WAU, previously the Holden Racing Team, was the preeminent team at the turn of the century, winning six of seven drivers' championships between 1996 and 2002.
However, after such a dominant run, few could have predicted it would take 23 years, a manufacturer change and more than 300 races to win again. To mark the occasion, team director Ryan Walkinshaw had the championship trophy tattooed on his back.
HRT’s new win span of 29 years, between 1996 and 2025, is now second overall between Dick Johnson Racing and Triple Eight Race Engineering.
DJR's first title came courtesy of Johnson himself in 1981, with Scott McLaughlin winning the team’s 10th in 2020: a span of 39 years.
Triple Eight won its first of 11 championships in 2008 through Jamie Whincup. Will Brown’s 2024 title took the Ford-bound team's win span to 16 years.
It’s no surprise DJR, WAU and Triple Eight are the top teams on this list: they are the top three teams for titles won, and combine for 28 championships.
For context, Mostert won the 66th championship in 2025, meaning the three teams have won 42% of all titles since 1960. Since John Bowe’s 1995 win, the three teams have won 23 of 31 titles - a whopping 74%.
Of other notable spans, Allan Moffat led his team to three titles between 1976 and 1983, a span of seven years. Peter Brock won three titles for the Holden Dealer Team between 1974 and 1980, a span of six years.
Gibson Motorsport (1990 to 1994) and Glenn Seton Racing (1993 to 1997) had win spans of four years.
It wasn’t the only long span extended in 2025: Garth Tander won his sixth Bathurst, 25 years after his first in 2000. It was a new record for the gap between first and last wins.
That span ends at 25, with Tander retiring after his victory with Matt Payne.
