About this episode

The episode features a discussion with rookie drivers about their experiences during the Tasmanian round of Super440.

Rookie Review Round 5 - Tasmania Tasmania Super440 delivered three very different races and another valuable pressure test for the 2026 rookie class. Across the Symmons Plains sprint format, Zach Bates, Rylan Gray, Jobe Stewart, and Jackson Walls each faced the trademark intensity of the tight Launceston layout short laps, heavy braking zones, and no margin for hesitation. With wins shared by Chaz Mostert, Andre Heimgartner, and Broc Feeney, the rookies were forced to navigate a fast moving weekend while finding their own rhythm in the pack. On this episode of Inside Supercars, Tony Whitlock sits down with all four to unpack how they handled the bumps, battles, and learning moments of the Tasmanian round. From Bates' continued qualifying promise, to Gray's race-craft gains, to Stewart and Walls banking more hard earned laps, the rookies offer honest reflections on a weekend that demanded composure and growth at every turn.
