Supercars Townsville 500 betting preview

The Repco Supercars Championship shifts into street-fighting mode this weekend as the NTI Townsville 500 roars into North Queensland from July 11–13. A punishing 2.86km Reid Park Street Circuit will host three races — a Friday sprint and two 200km endurance contests — shaping the penultimate round of the Sprint Cup.

Broc Feeney arrives riding an astonishing wave of momentum, winning seven of the past nine races and the last five consecutively, and sits as the $2.15 favourite with the top online bookmakers. However, Townsville has proven elusive for Feeney in the main game, despite podiums in 2023. He’ll be eager to clinch the Sprint Cup outright by growing his current 183-point advantage over teammate Will Brown to the magic 315-point threshold.

Cam Waters looms as Feeney’s biggest threat on the streets. A three-time Townsville winner, Waters thrives on street circuits and famously defeated Chaz Mostert in a brutal duel last year. With his championship hopes fading at 320 points back, this is effectively a last stand for the Tickford star.

Matt Payne also remains a wildcard after delivering a Penrite Racing masterstroke in Townsville last season, winning from 11th on the grid. He’s 197 points behind Feeney and may again benefit from the weekend’s fuel strategies and street-circuit chaos.

Qualifying will be crucial, with history showing front-row starters claim nearly every victory in Townsville. Friday’s sprint race adds a fresh variable as teams juggle practice, qualifying, and racing all on a single day. With the finals spots tightening and the midfield only separated by 309 points, expect fireworks across all three races.

2025 Townsville 500 betting predictions

Cam Waters to win

Broc Feeney remains the man to beat, but Townsville’s street-fight nature leaves the door ajar for an upset — and nobody loves a Reid Park brawl more than Cam Waters. The Tickford driver boasts three Townsville wins, while his aggressive style and record of strong qualifying pace give him every chance to end Feeney’s streak. At $4.50 with BetOnline, Waters represents value for a driver who knows how to wrestle a Mustang to the front when it matters most.

Matthew Payne podium finish

Matt Payne has emerged as one of the revelations of 2025 and proved last year he can win at Townsville from deep on the grid. Penrite Racing’s strategic smarts and Payne’s calm driving make him a serious podium threat, especially if Feeney and Waters tangle. At $2.60 with BetOnline, Payne is a sharp play for punters who want value beyond the obvious favourites.

Brodie Kostecki top-six finish

It’s been a tough season for Brodie Kostecki, but Townsville might be the circuit where he claws back momentum. He’s a street-circuit fighter and could capitalise on chaos or a smart strategy call. With solid value at $2.60 for a top-six finish at BetOnline, Kostecki’s a shrewd bet to sneak back into the conversation for finals contention.
