The title having been decided, attention now turns to the automatic promotion positions as we head into the final showdown at Phillip island on the 7th of December.

Mathematically 12 drivers are in contention for the highly publicised automatic promotion positions, 4 of which are trying retain their top 20 positions in the final round.

Richard Hamstead, Blake Worboys, Ethan Grigg-Gault & Brett Loxton currently fill positions 17-20. while Chris Coxhead, Griffin Gardiner, Jamie Dike, Kurt Stenberg, Adam Hayne, Sebastian Flock, Luke Mitchinson & Dylan Rudd hold 21-28, All wanting to advance up the championship ladder and into a promotion place.

Who to watch? Everyone will have their opinion. We selected 3 drivers from the list above who we feel can make a last minute plunge in the standings.

A season that started with much promise netting 4 top 10 finishes in the opening 5 races saw Gardiner sitting comfortably inside the top 10 in points. A tough run including 3 straight DNF finishes after returning from the mid season break at spa hindered Griffin’s championship now finding himself 22nd overall 42 points off Brett Loxton who is currently 20th and holding the final automatic promotion place.

Returning to the Griffin Gardiner we all know with a top 10 at the most recent round (Belle Isle) he will surely be looking to continue his form in the final round at Phillip Island with the hope of collecting his place on the 2023 grid. Can he do it?

Jamie has built a solid campaign from the get go. Consistency has been his game, continually netting results as the season has progressed. A personal best result in 16th during the penultimate round of the championship has come at the perfect time for the Fishy Motorsport Veteran giving him plenty of confidence he can get the job done in the final round.

Currently 23rd & 64 points outside the cutoff line there is no doubt Jamie Dike will be fighting to secure his place on the 2023 grid. Regardless of the outcome at Phillip Island, Jamie has driven extremely well in the Logitech G Pro Invitational Series and can walk away proud of his accomplishments.

A driver who on his day is one of the best and most consistent top 10 runners, Kurt has been plagued by drama throughout his 2022 campaign. Currently 24th on 812 points, Kurt will look to return to his true form and secure his place on next years grid.

A best of 14th this year at Winton being the highlight we hope to see one of the best points racers return to the front. With one round to go all eyes will be on Stenberg with his eyes firmly placed on promotion. Can he get the job done? We sure hope so.

Tune in on the 7th of December to see who will reign supreme and punch their ticket to the 2023 Logitech G Pro Invitational Series. Will it be the in form hot shoe Griffin? Can Jamie deliver again? Or can the evergreen Stenny step up to the plate?

Let’s find out!
