Stanaway beats Goddard to ‘Co-Driver Cup’

RICHIE Stanaway last weekend secured arguably Australian motorsport’s most coveted trophy, so he’s probably not too concerned about a made-up unofficial competition.

But hey, the 2023 ‘Co-Driver Cup’ is another feather in the cap of the reinvigorated Kiwi ahead of his full-time Supercars return next year.

Simply attributing the relevant championship points to the placings from each of the three dedicated additional driver practice sessions across the Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000, V8 Sleuth has calculated the Co-Driver Cup standings in full below.

Now, these should really be taken with a grain of salt and not as a definitive ranking of how every co-driver performed, given the many variables.

For instance, there’s parity, car performance, session plan/program and other factors – such as Jack Perkins nursing a still-wounded #9 Camaro in Bathurst Practice 5 after Will Brown’s qualifying crash the previous day.

Plus, we’re sure Dean Fiore will happily take seventh in the Great Race over last in the below standings!

Anyhow, enjoy…
