Image: InSyde Media<\/p>\n<p>Mostert was a near-unstoppable force during the first-ever Supercars Finals campaign with three wins and six top two finishes across the seven races.<\/p>\n<p>That led to him scoring a <a href=\"https:\/\/speedcafe.com\/supercars-news-2025-adelaide-grand-final-chaz-mostert-wins-championship-race-results-matt-payne\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sensational first Supercars title in Adelaide<\/a> at the expense of season-long form driver Broc Feeney from Triple Eight.<\/p>\n<p>The title win came off the back of an inconsistent regular season for Mostert, particularly in comparison to chief title rival Feeney.<\/p>\n<p>However WAU has made little secret of the fact it had a Finals-focussed approach to the year, sacrificing speed to experiment on set-up at some rounds to ensure it had a car that would perform across the Gold Coast, Sandown and Adelaide events.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a plan Mostert admits was hard to swallow at times during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdelaide was our greatest telltale last year,\u201d he told the KTM Summer Grill. \u201cWe had a good Adelaide last year, we were in the mix, but I still didn\u2019t think we were quite fast enough to take it to T8.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was a real focus into the off-season [and] into this year. Now we have this new format, how are we going to try and make sure we are fast enough to take it to those guys?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was our goal coming into this year, to try and do everything we can to make sure we had the best package come Finals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to sacrifice a little bit of inconsistency with that along the way. Mid-year, I can definitely say\u2026 was I starting to get a bit doubtful if it was going to work? One hundred percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn sport, momentum and consistency and results give you that positivity. There were a few up and down rounds there that really question marked whether we\u2019d done the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously we can sit back now and say, 100 percent it was [the right approach].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mostert added that having such an ambitious plan come together added to the enjoyment of securing the title in Adelaide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It is] super satisfying because there\u2019s a lot of sacrifice in doing that type of plan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlenty of question marks throughout the year, so much to reflect on. It\u2019s crazy. It\u2019s one of those years that\u2019s going to stick with me for such a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more with Chaz Mostert check out the full episode of the KTM Summer Grill.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/t.cfjump.com\/92797\/b\/285249\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/t.cfjump.com\/92797\/a\/285249\" alt=\"\"\/><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chaz Mostert had an inconsistent run to winning the Supercars title.
