CAN ANYONE STOP SCOTT MCLAUGHLIN?
Scott McLaughlin’s record-breaking season will net him a second consecutive drivers’ title. But given the comfortable advantage in the championship, it’s victory at Bathurst that would make it a perfect season. And given the team’s winless run at Mount Panorama and the fact this could be one of the few remaining opportunities McLaughlin has to win the Great Race before a possible move to NASCAR, the pressure is on the championship leader to secure this win.
WHEN WILL THE CHAMPIONSHIP BE SEALED?
With the Sandown 500’s move to the penultimate round of the season and Scott McLaughlin holding such a big points lead, the championship is set to be sealed during the PIRTEK Enduro Cup. When and where, though, could determine how McLaughlin and DJR Team Penske approach that particular endurance event.
WILL THE MUSTANG PROVE TOO STRONG?
Repeated changes to the Holden ZB Commodore and Nissan Altima packages haven’t stopped the charge of the Ford Mustang. The Mustang, particularly in the hands of Scott McLaughlin, has won across a variety of tracks and is undoubtedly the car to beat. Its potential gap to the Altima and Commodore could further fuel the parity debate unless the Holdens and Nissans can utilise their more recent aero changes to get on a level playing field.
CAN TRIPLE EIGHT RACE ENGINEERING’S ‘DREAM TEAM’ MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE?
The addition of Craig Lowndes and Garth Tander into Triple Eight Race Engineering shapes as a crucial factor in the endurance events. While the factory Holden team may be lacking some speed relative to the Ford Mustang, the experience, and pedigree of its co-drivers up against the competition could be a decisive factor in the endurance events.

Who are the greatest drivers in the 60-year history of the Australian Touring Car Championship/Supercars? We rank the top 60 with an emphasis on best championship finishes, race-winning percentage and competitive longevity.
