Imagine a racing champion who spends half the season sabotaging their own success, only to pull off a miraculous comeback. That’s Will Brown in a nutshell, landing at #41 in the Autosport Top 50 of 2025. But here’s where it gets controversial—while his 2024 season was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, his second-place finish in the championship points might just be the most debated ranking of the year.
Brown’s qualifying performances were, frankly, a mess. Apart from a single pole position, his starts were often lackluster, leaving fans and critics alike scratching their heads. Yet, race after race, he transformed into a completely different driver. His ability to overtake was nothing short of extraordinary—so much so that if Supercars awarded a trophy for passing maneuvers, he’d have claimed it by mid-season. With 13 podium finishes, Brown proved he’s a force to be reckoned with when the lights go out.
And this is the part most people miss—finishing ahead of Broc Feeney in the standings isn’t just impressive; it’s downright puzzling. Feeney, a consistent performer, seemed like the obvious contender for that spot. So, what does this say about Brown’s season? Was it a fluke, or is he truly a master of the comeback? We’d love to hear your take.
