Revealed: Which drivers have defined Supercars' 2020s so far?

With the arrival of 2025, Supercars is now officially halfway through the decade.

In five seasons in the 2020s, we’ve seen 19 different race winners, including eight new race winners, as well as 22 different pole-sitters and two new Supercars champions.

As was the case in the 2000s and 2010s, new faces and teams emerged to dominate, so perhaps we won't even know the ultimate best of the 2020s until the decade ends in 2029.

Still, so much has happened across the 143 Supercars races since the new decade began in Adelaide in February 2020. So, which drivers and teams have led the way as we head into 2025?

Race wins

Dominant seasons in 2021 and 2022 have helped Shane van Gisbergen end up with the most wins of the 2020s so far, and by some margin.

Van Gisbergen won a whopping 44 of the 119 races he contested between 2020 and 2023, largely helped by hauls of 14 and 21 wins in 2021 and 2022.

Van Gisbergen's biggest rival in that period, Cam Waters, is second with 14 wins. Waters won the 2017 Sandown 500, but had to wait until the penultimate race of the 2020 season to win again. The Tickford Racing star has since won 13 more races, including four in 2024.

Despite racing in one of the five years in the 2020s, Scott McLaughlin is an impressive third, thanks to his 13 wins in his dominant title-winning 2020 campaign.

Broc Feeney, despite only making his full-time debut in 2022, is fourth with 12 wins ahead of Chaz Mostert (11), 2024 champion Will Brown (10), Anton De Pasquale (9), Brodie Kostecki (8) and Jamie Whincup (7).

Since 2020, there have been eight first-time winners: Feeney, Brown, De Pasquale, Kostecki, Jack Le Brocq, Andre Heimgartner, Matt Payne and Todd Hazelwood.

Pole positions

Waters, who took out the Pole Champion Award in 2022 and 2024, has been the benchmark qualifier so far this decade with 25 pole positions.

After debuting in 2016, Waters has come into his own in the 2020s, winning 14 of his 15 races, and taking 25 of his 29 poles since the start of the 2020 season. He also finished runner-up in 2020 and 2022, and claimed three straight Bathurst podiums between 2020 and 2022.

Van Gisbergen claimed 19 pole positions to go with his 44 wins, with McLaughlin still up there thanks to his dominant 15-pole haul in 2020, between De Pasquale (16) and Kostecki (13).

Of 22 pole-sitters since 2020, 12 have taken their first: De Pasquale, Kostecki, Feeney, Brown, Heimgartner, Percat, Le Brocq, Payne, Thomas Randle, Todd Hazelwood, Zak Best and James Golding.

What about teams?

The clear benchmark in the 2020s has been Triple Eight Race Engineering, which has taken 67 wins, 38 pole positions, three drivers' championships and three teams' championships.

The team has been the benchmark in Supercars for nearly 20 years, remaining the ones to beat through Project Blueprint, Car of the Future, Gen2 and into Gen3.

After McLaughlin and DJR Team Penske led the way in 2020, Triple Eight has been a force. Van Gisbergen won consecutive titles in 2021 and 2022, and after being outsmarted by Erebus Motorsport in the first season of Gen3, Triple Eight bounced back with a championship sweep in 2024.

Remarkably, Triple Eight has won more races in the 2020s than the next four teams combined: DJR (25), Tickford Racing (15), Erebus Motorsport (14) and Walkinshaw Andretti United (11).

Given Triple Eight's dominance, there should be no surprise then that General Motors machinery is atop the wins and pole columns since 2020. Triple Eight claimed 46 of Holden's 58 wins between 2020 and 2022, and 21 of Chevrolet's 38 in 2023 and 2024.

All told, between 2020 and 2024, GM cars have 96 wins to Ford's 47, despite Fords taking 80 poles to 66.
