Lap 2 crash leaves Cameron Hill last, as Cameron Waters wipes himself out of Finals.

Cameron Hill (#4 Sherrin Rentals/Supaglass Chevrolet) finished last for the 5th time in his career. The finish was because of a Lap 2 crash that left him 10 laps down. The finish came in Hill’s 43d start.

Cameron Hill is in his 3rd full-time Championship season with Matt Stone Racing. He was previously at Red Bull in 2022 while racing for Super 2. Hill won a race in 2025 at Albert Park, and has been competitive this year. This is his 2nd last-place finish of the season. Hill qualified and ran the top 10 shootout in 6th.

Andre Heimgartner (#8 R&J Batteries Chevrolet) started the race last. Two early race incidents would leave two drivers in the bottom two positions.

Near the end of Lap 2, Cameron Hill (#4 Sherrin Rentals/Supaglass Chevrolet) crashed exiting Turn 9. Initially, Hill would limp back onto the track after a tire change. However, the damage was too severe, and Hill would lose 9 additional laps in the garage. With no retirements, Hill would finish last.

Ryan Wood (#2 Truck Assist/Mobil 1 Chevrolet) suffered a spindle failure on Lap 7 during a pit stop. The issue cost Wood 8 laps.

And now we move on to the collapse of Cameron Waters.

Cameron Waters (#6 Monster Energy Ford) completely screwed himself out of the Finals.

When Waters gets into an incident, he cannot let it go. He showed this in the second race. It all started with an incident with Matt Payne (#19 Penrite Ford) at race start. From there, the wheels came off.

Waters attempted to pass James Golding (#31 Nulon Chevrolet), but banged into him and cut his tire, costing Golding a lap. A penalty for Waters would cost more time.

Waters then retaliated against Matt Payne. With 31 laps to go, they clashed battling for fourth. The contact damaged both cars, sending both to the garage.

Waters would lose 1 lap with a puncture, then 4 additional laps with a broken shock absorber.

Payne, meanwhile, would suffer steering damage that would cost him 6 laps.

How Juniorgeneric defines a Last-Place finisher

Australian V8 LASTCAR'S Official Definition of a "Last-Place Finisher" (LPF)

For the purposes of the Australian V8 LASTCAR championship rankings and statistics, a "Last-Place Finisher" (LPF) is a driver(s) who, after qualifying for a V8 Supercars Championship Points-Paying race, the result must be confirmed from official sources, or unofficial sources failing that. Only one driver (or two in a endurance race) can be classified as the LPF for that race.

Meeting those requirements, the LPF can be any driver classified as such for any reason, including, but not limited to.
1) A "did not start" although it should be noted that there is a difference between my definition of "did not start" and Brock Beard's definition of "Did not Start".
For example, in Bathurst 2015 Chazz Mostert and Cameron Waters' #6 Pepsi Max Ford had a huge accident during practice that injured Mostert and all but wrote off the car. Car #6 was withdrawn, and therefore I don't count Mostert and Waters as finishing last. Under Brock Beard's definition, however, Mostert and Waters would have finished last instead of David Wall and Chris Pither.
2) An entrant who encounters an event once the race has started which prevents the driver(s) from finishing ahead of any other qualified entrants, including both DNFs and drivers who finish under power but laps down*

*Only when all the cars in the race are running ahead of the LPF

3) A decision to “start and park” the driver’s entry (Extremely rare in V8 Supercars)
(4) a disqualification handed down by V8 Supercars and/or track officials that subsequently classifies the driver(s) in the final position behind the unofficial LPF.

Australian V8 LASTCAR shall not consider the LPF as anything else, including but not limited too
1) Any DNQ's
2) Any driver's who's car withdrew before the race start.
3)The lowest-ranked driver who finishes the race under power (unless all cars finished under power, actually quite common in V8 Supercars)
4) A driver(s) who finished last initially, however post-race disqualifications usurped the spot.
5) A driver(s) who may be catagorised as finishing last for exhibition events (I may bring these back at some point in the near future, I need more accurate numbers for the events before I start them up again)
6) Anything in non-V8 Supercar Main game (again, insufficent historical data)
7) A driver who was running last when the checkered flag fell, however because they greeted the checkered flag but a drive who was in front of them at the end of the race, however was not running at the end of the race. In that instance the driver who doesn't finish the race will fall behind the driver whom is still running at the end of the race.

In the rare event where official results or a preponderance of unofficial results are later updated with more accurate information about who was the LPF for that event, Australian V8 LASTCAR rankings and statistics shall be updated to reflect that change.
