As a result, it means Wall Racing's Tony D'Alberto goes into the final race of the season with a healthy 49-point buffer over Will Brown of Melbourne Performance Centre.<\/p>\n
Jordan Cox, who came into the season finale as the hot tip to steal the win away, lies 51 points adrift after copping an overnight penalty.<\/p>\n
A maximum of 75 points are on offer in race three at the SpeedSeries<\/a>-ending Bathurst International.<\/p>\n In any case, D'Alberto wins the series if he finishes 12th or better.<\/p>\n If Brown wins, D'Alberto needs to finish 13th or worse. If he finished 12th, then the countback would go the way of D'Alberto on wins.<\/p>\n If Brown is second, D'Alberto can finish last and still win the title. Alternatively, if D'Alberto fails to finish, Brown only has to finish fifth.<\/p>\n It's a similar story for Cox, who can claim the title if he wins and D'Alberto finishes 13th or worse. <\/p>\n D'Alberto takes the title on a countback if he finished 12th and Cox wins the race. <\/p>\n Like Brown, if D'Alberto fails to finish, Cox needs to record fifth or better.<\/p>\n Josh Buchan is still mathematically in with a shot of victory, albeit 72 points in arrears. In any case, he has to win.<\/p>\n The starting grid will take the finishing order from race one, meaning Bailey Sweeny will start from pole position.<\/p>\n Series leader D'Alberto will start from 11th while Cox will start 14th.<\/p>\n The season's final race gets underway at 3:50pm Sunday with coverage live, ad-free and exclusively on Stan Sport.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
