The Repco Supercars Championship concluded the ITM Taupō Super 440 weekend at Taupō International Motorsport Park in Taupō, New Zealand, for race ten of the 2025 season. Dick Johnson Racing driver Brodie Kostecki won the pole for this race with Team 18 driver Anton De Pasquale starting second.
The race began with chaos when Anton De Pasquale went wide into Turn 1, while Kai Allen spun, and Ryan Wood forced Brodie Kostecki in the grass at Turn 8. Kostecki managed to regain control before sliding wide at Turn 9. Cameron Hill, Thomas Randle, and Matthew Payne all got by Kostecki.
Cameron Hill led the race with Matthew Payne chasing him down. On the eighth lap, Payne passed Hill from the inside to take the lead leaving Hill high and Thomas Randle followed Payne to take second. Payne went to pit road on lap 16 and kept the lead with Hill and Randle chasing him.
On lap 37, Payne extended his lead to three seconds, and a lap later Hill and Randle went to pit road for service. Payne pitted shortly after and still maintained a three-second lead over Cameron Hill. Payne led the rest of the way and won his second race of the season by 3.1941 seconds over Cameron Hill.
The rest of the top ten finishers were Chaz Mostert third, Brodie Kostecki fourth, Thomas Randle fifth, Andre Heimgartner sixth, Broc Feeney seventh, Will Brown eighth, Will Davison ninth, and James Golding tenth.
The Supercars head to Symmons Plains Raceway for the 2025 Snowy River Caravans Tasmania Super 440 in Tasmania from May 8 to 11.
