Winton has a rich history with Supercars, recently holding the latest round of the Recpo Supercars Series. The 12 turn, three kilometer layout will be the most difficult track of the season to make passes, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be action. A new track to the iRacing service, this will be the first major test of the circuit where the leading 40 drivers in Australia will tackle the challenge head on.

Round one race winner, Brady Meyers only led the Sebring race for about 100 metres, but it was the most important 100 metres of the series so far. From the 44-lap thriller at Sebring, we this time have two 32 lap sprint races ahead, both with a compulsory pitstop.

The shorter lap time and tighter layout makes the timing of the pitstop even more vital. The undercut is significant here for track position. Do it too early, and you will be held up in the pack, stop too late, and you could drop positions to those that may have stayed out of traffic. Tyre life is crucial. They should hang in there in weather that is expected to be a cool, but mostly sunny 18 degrees.

It is a track where qualifying is king, and who would be better prepared to qualify at the front than Boost Mobile Racings Jarrad Fillsell. Pole winner in race one, Jarrad and Jake Burton were the class of the field. However through their tight battling they allowed the TTR cars back into the fight where they were able to capitalise on the fuel drama of Burton and late mistake by the number 94.

But do you want to lead? Do you want to be the pioneer where the pack stays with you and pits first to get the undercut, does the leader take that risk or does he react to what the chasing pack are doing.

Also watch for Madison Down, a non starter in race one due to technical reasons, Madison will be keen to establish himself in the series by maxmising every race from here on to somehow get himself back into the championship.

There are so many drivers in this field that have raced here in their race cars, notably Madison, Jake and Jackson Sousin Harlow have had real life experience in a Supercar in testing whilst ERT’s Ethan Grigg Gault had recent success with a dominant win in his Hyundai Excel in a strong field last month. As recent as the past weekend, Josh Anderson was heavily involved in the Aussie Racing cars series.

And of course, Brodie Kosteki fresh of his run in the Erebus Motorsport ZB.

What about the local driver, Blake Worboys. Our driver of the day winner from Round one used to live just up the Hume Highway from the track where he has been many times.

Could there be a winner from elsewhere? Could there a surprise on the podium?

One thing we know, the pressure will be intense, and the action will come thick and fast.

A safety car will be a real chance here. Remarkably, after 44 laps of no safety car racing the top five finished within half a second of each other. Whilst it is unlikely to happen again, you can be sure that the winning margin will be close.

Who will come out on top, who will assert their dominance, who will be the winner of the Winton Super Sprints?

Be here from 7:40 AEST on the 1st of June to get front row seats in what is already the most exciting championship in the country.
