Matt Payne secured his sixth win of the season at Sandown Park, Melbourne, cementing his points lead and his position as the top seed for the Adelaide decider. Despite a strong challenge from Anton De Pasquale, Payne held on for a narrow victory by 0.7 seconds. De Pasquale's second-place finish was not enough to secure a spot in the final four, as Chaz Mostert moved up from 11th on the grid to finish fifth, qualifying for the grand final. The final four drivers will be Payne, Mostert, Broc Feeney, and Brodie Kostecki, who won the previous race on Saturday.
The results mean that three of the four drivers in contention will try to give Ford a second consecutive Drivers’ title, against a sole Toyota driven by Mostert, the man who delivered that title a year ago. Three races await the teams, drivers, and fans on the streets of Adelaide on 27-29 November.
