The 2025 Gold Coast 500 (known for commercial reasons as the 2025 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500[1]) was a motor racing event for Supercars that was held on 24–26 October 2025 at the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The round consisted of two 250 km races and was the twelfth round of the 2025 Supercars Championship. It also marked the beginning of the inaugural Supercars Finals Series.
Chaz Mostert won both races with Broc Feeney following behind in second. The first race saw the pair accompanied by Kai Allen whilst the second had Andre Heimgartner with his first podium of the season.
Background
The event was held on the weekend of 24–26 October 2025. It was the 31st Supercars event held at the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit in the Gold Coast and consisted of two 250 km races.[2][3] It was held at the 14th running of the Gold Coast 500 and the 4th running as a single-driver event. Prior events had been held as the V8 Supercar Challenge under non-championship and championship status to support the Gold Coast Indy 300.[4]
This event also marked the first round of the newly implemented Finals Series championship format. This saw the championship's top 10 drivers have their points reset, with the top 7 at the end of the round remaining in contention for the driver's championship.[5] Going into the weekend, Broc Feeney of Triple Eight Race Engineering had a lead of 30 points over Grove Racing's Matthew Payne.[6]
Entry list
Twenty four cars were entered into the event — 14 sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaros and 11 seventh-generation Ford Mustangs.[7] Only one driver change was made from the beginning of the season, with Aaron Cameron replacing Aaron Love at Blanchard Racing Team at the Melbourne SuperSprint.[8]
Additionally, Cam Waters of Tickford Racing ran #40 on his car instead of #6 in celebration of Tickford's sponsor Autobarn and their 40th anniversary.[9]
