🇦🇺 Nick Percat

Nick Percat is a professional racing driver competing at the Australian Supercars level, with a Racer Rating of 4,388. This places him in the professional band; he is a driver capable of winning races in strong national fields and beating semi-professional competitors comfortably, though not a front-runner among the elite of his series. His record across seven seasons in the Supercars Championship shows five wins and eleven podiums from 208 starts, with an average finish of P12.[1]

Percat's performance against the most consistent rivals in his field reveals a driver who operates at the competitive middle tier of Supercars. Against several established professionals ranked at or near his own level, James Courtney and David Reynolds, he holds a clear head-to-head advantage; against Andre Heimgartner, a Gold-graded driver one tier above him, he sits marginally ahead. However, the pattern against the series' strongest competitors is decisively one-sided. Against Cameron Waters, a much stronger driver who sits nearly 2,000 rating points higher, Percat has finished ahead only 54 times in 193 shared races. Against Chaz Mostert, a Platinum-graded professional some 1,300 points ahead, the gap widens to 45 head-to-head wins against 148 defeats across the same span. Elite-level champions such as Broc Feeney, the 2025 Supercars champion, have beaten him substantially more often than he has beaten them.[2]

In 2025, Percat finished P13 in the championship with three podiums across 33 rounds, indicating a gradual reduction in competitiveness in his seventh season. His career has been spent primarily with Brad Jones Racing, a team that fields multiple drivers and has not been a race-winning outfit at the top level during his tenure. Recent headlines suggest activity beyond driving; Percat has moved into team ownership and driver development roles, signalling a shift toward the management side of motorsport.
