Waters conceded that victory was out of the question, but is sure he could have challenged Matt Payne<\/a> for second.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think I would have got to Brodie (Kostecki), his middle stint was amazing, that really set up his race,\u201d said the Tickford Racing ace.<\/p>\n \u201cI probably reckon I could have got to the back of Matt, which would have been a pretty cool battle, but just obviously didn\u2019t have enough fuel in the car and had to fuel-save.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just kind of the way it\u2019s been with these fuel churns, it\u2019s just all about saving fuel.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty shit way to go racing.\u201d<\/p>\n It was nevertheless another excellent outing for Waters, who suddenly has found himself on a six-race stretch featuring two wins, three poles and five podiums.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously it was great to get through Darwin and have a really good weekend with three strong results, but to come here to a very different circuit and have another three very good results, it was really good for our team,\u201d said Waters.<\/p>\n \u201cFor us, it\u2019s about looking at what happened today and learning from that and try to make those errors again.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll go to Perth and try to roll out a fast car there. Just take each race as it comes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CAM Waters has not held back on the tendency for fuel churn usage to see Supercars races descend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":796450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-796449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796449","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=796449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/796450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/RGP-2026-itm-Townsville-500-_25A7873-1024x576.jpg\")
