REVHEADS across the Territory will be glued to their screens as the Supercars battle it out in the flagship race of the championship series at Mt Panorama this weekend.

Among them will be Girraween couple Barry and Tracey Heydon, who will be taking opposite sides on the race’s traditional Holden/Ford rivalry.

The couple have been racing fans “forever” – with Mrs Heydon usually favouring Holden and Mr Heydon backing the Fords – but switched allegiances when Mrs Heydon’s favourite driver Scott McLaughlin made the move from Volvo to Ford in 2017.

“I’m going for Lowndsey, Tracey’s Scotty McLaughlin,” Mr Heydon said.

“It used to be the other way around but Scotty went out of Volvo to Ford so she’s gone Ford so I thought ‘bugger it I’ll go back to Holden’.”

While the pair admitted to “just a little bit” of friendly rivalry trackside, they both preferred to look on the bright side.

“Whatever happens, one of us wins,” Mr Heydon said.

The action runs all weekend and culminates in the championship race from 10.40am tomorrow Darwin time on Channel 10.
