Broc Feeney secured pole position for the Perth Super440 race after a competitive Top 10 Shootout. He narrowly edged out Cameron Waters, marking a significant turnaround for the Triple Eight Race Engineering team.
Why it matters
This result highlights the high-stakes competitive nature of the Repco Supercars Championship and the technical adjustments teams make during race weekends.
Feeney clocked a 53.6477s to beat Tickford Racing’s Cameron Waters by 0.0550s.
The #88 Triple Eight Race Engineering Ford was down 0.044s relative to the #6 Tickford Racing Mustang at the end of Sector 1.
However, he made the time up in Sector 2 to swing the pendulum to the tune of 0.1s and have a 0.065s advantage before ending the lap just six hundredths faster.
“I’m chuffed. We’ve been on the back foot but there’s blood in the water this weekend, we’ve got a fast car so we’re getting after it,” said Feeney.
“Obviously it was pretty fast in that Shootout, I was pretty close to my time from earlier, it was probably similar to what Cam did.
“I sent it in at [Turn] 6, got it stopped and drove it out and made up about a tenth.
