Despite Chaz Mostert having his first weekend in the top 10 in 20 rounds, WAU is positive for the road ahead. Mostert was uncharacteristically struggling for pace throughout the weekend at Symmons Plains, the track he took his WAU win at in 2021. The #25 finished 14th, 19th and 18th across the three races and desperately searched for one lap pace. With Ryan Wood taking two top 10s, it was the unusual case of Mostert playing second fiddle to his younger teammate.
