THERE will be a whole lot more orange numbers in the field when the Repco Supercars Championship opens its maiden finals series.<\/p>\n

Seemingly for the ease of spectators both trackside and watching on TV, all finals cars will carry orange numbers at the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500.<\/p>\n

The 14 cars outside the finals bracket will retain the standard yellow numbers.<\/p>\n

Usually, orange numbers are reserved exclusively for the championship leader; however this initiative comes in line with the game changing on how the 2025 title will be decided.<\/p>\n

That is to take place over a three-round knockout phase comprising Gold Coast, Sandown and Adelaide.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A total of 10 cars will be officially in the hunt after Bathurst. Three will then be knocked out at the end of both Gold Coast and Sandown, leaving a last four to duke it out in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

Thus far, Broc Feeney<\/a>, Matt Payne<\/a>, Will Brown<\/a>, Cam Waters<\/a>, Chaz Mostert<\/a> and Brodie Kostecki<\/a> have punched their ticket to the playoffs.<\/p>\n

The remaining four spots will be determined at the Repco Bathurst 1000 across October 9-12, where Feeney and #88 co-driver Jamie Whincup<\/a> are due to have the only orange digits for one last event.<\/p>\n

Gold Coast will unfold a fortnight after the Great Race, across October 24-26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THERE will be a whole lot more orange numbers in the field when the Repco Supercars Championship opens…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":149728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-149727","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-motor","11":"tag-motor-sports","12":"tag-motosport","13":"tag-motosports","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
