Waters wins Symmons Plains finale as Randle and Feeney clashes

Cameron Waters won the final Supercars Championship race of the weekend at Symmons Plains as title contender Broc Feeney and Thomas Randle clashed.

Tickford Racing driver Waters (Ford) started on the front row and managed to get past team-mate and pole sitter Randle before the end of the first lap.

Lap seven saw the safety car coming into action as David Reynolds came to a halt on track due to a technical issue.

Randle started a tough fight with Triple Eight driver and championship leader Will Brown with eleven laps left, nudging him at the hairpin to get up alongside on the following straight where they banged wheels several times at high speed.

The two touched again in the run into the final corner of the lap, with Ford driver Randle going wide across the crass – shouting “bump and run” over his team radio.

Brown had got past his team-mate Feeney a couple of laps later as Randle caught the Triple Eight duo with five laps left.

The Tickford Racing driver then went straight into the back of Feeney at the hairpin, sending the Chevrolet driver into a spin. The stewards handed Randle a 15-second penalty which dropped him to finish 18th while Feeney finished sixth.

Waters won the race by six seconds over Brown while Brad Jones Racing driver Bryce Fullwood (Chevrolet) claimed his first podium finish of 2024 in third place.

Chaz Mostert (Ford) fought his way from eleventh on the grid to finish fourth for Walkinshaw Andretti United while Jack Le Brocq rounded off the top five for Erebus Motorsport.

Brown heads the drivers’ championship with a margin of 81 points of Mostert, while Feeney is third, 198 points behind.

The next Supercars round is the first endurance race of the season, with the Sandown 500 on September 14-15.
