It's been a season to remember, and at this rate, the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship could well go down as the most competitive of all time.
Supercars data analyst Scott Sinclair dug out some wild numbers that prove just how manic, wide open and unpredictable 2026 has been, something we all witnessed as Broc Feeney overturned a 110-point deficit on the final day to clinch the Repco Sprint Cup.
As the 2026 season hits enduro mode, take a look back at some of the freakish numbers this incredible season has produced, and where we could go next.
The Ryco Enduro Cup commences at the AirTouch 500 at The Bend on September 11-13, followed by the Repco Bathurst 1000 on October 8-11. Tickets for all events are on sale now.
Three manufacturers have won races
For the first time since 2018, when Ford, Holden and Nissan won races, a Supercars season has had three different manufacturers on the top step. Remarkably, Ford, Chevrolet and Toyota were all winners after just nine races!
Three manufacturers have taken pole position
Ford and Chevrolet claimed poles at the very first round in Sydney. It took Toyota two rounds to claim a podium finish, and three rounds to claim a pole and a win, all three milestones courtesy of Ryan Wood.
10 different winners
10 drivers — Brodie Kostecki, Broc Feeney, Matt Payne, Cam Waters, Kai Allen, Anton De Pasquale, Will Brown, Chaz Mostert, Ryan Wood and Andre Heimgartner — have all won races. It's the equal most at this point in a season with 2016. The all-time record for different winners in a season is 13, shared by the 2000 and 2013 seasons.
10 different pole sitters
10 drivers have also claimed a pole — Brodie Kostecki, Broc Feeney, Matt Payne, Cam Waters, Anton De Pasquale, Will Brown, Chaz Mostert, Ryan Wood, Andre Heimgartner and James Golding. The all-time record is 11, in the 2016 season.
Eight different teams on pole
Eight different teams have claimed a pole, again the equal most since 2016. Penrite Racing, Triple Eight, Tickford, Dick Johnson Racing, Walkinshaw TWG, Brad Jones Racing, Team 18 and Blanchard Racing Team have all claimed at least one Boost Mobile Pole.
Seven different race-winning teams
Seven different teams have won a race, the equal most since 2016 — Penrite Racing, Triple Eight, Tickford, Dick Johnson Racing, Walkinshaw TWG, Brad Jones Racing and Team 18.
Nothing in it in qualifying
A remarkable 19 of 28 pole positions have been decided by less than 0.1 seconds. Insanely close! On top of that, 24 of 28 poles have been decided by less than 0.2 seconds.
Close race finishes
It also extends to the races, where five races have been decided by less than 0.5 seconds, the most since 2008. Nine races have also been decided by less than one second. The closest? Broc Feeney defeated Brodie Kostecki by 0.145s in the third Melbourne race, while Cam Waters pipped Kostecki by 0.200s in the Townsville opener. Then, Anton De Pasquale beat Kostecki by 0.363s in Sydney. See a trend?
Championship lead changes
The championship lead has changed hands a whopping eight times across four different drivers — Broc Feeney, Anton De Pasquale, Brodie Kostecki and Matt Payne. That's the most changes at the top since 2016.
Drivers on the front row
Of 24 full-timers, 13 have had a front row start, the equal most since 2016. They are: Brodie Kostecki, Broc Feeney, Matt Payne, Cam Waters, Anton De Pasquale, Will Brown, Chaz Mostert, Ryan Wood, Andre Heimgartner, James Golding, Kai Allen, Aaron Cameron and Thomas Randle.
