Payne leads Supercars title fight into Adelaide finale

Chaz Mostert and Will Payne are among the four grand finalists heading to Adelaide, with points reset to 5000 each after Sandown and seeding bonuses applied. Payne enters the round 30 points ahead of Brodie Kostecki, with Broc Feeney 54 points back and Mostert 72 points adrift.

The top four will have three scoring opportunities in Adelaide: a 100km sprint worth a maximum of 50 points, followed by two 250km races on Saturday and Sunday, each worth up to 125 points. Payne has two wins from seven Adelaide starts and has the most Finals Series podiums so far, with three.

Each grand finalist has one Finals Series win to date. Feeney was beaten by Mostert in last year's decider, and Payne is contesting his first title. Readers are being asked to vote for their pick to win the championship in a Michelin poll.
