The stakes could not be higher as the Logitech G V8PRO Series rolls toward Bathurst and the penultimate round of the championship. Only the top twenty drivers will earn automatic qualification for the 2026 season, and every point matters as the field tightens.
Sitting right on the edge of that cut line is Synergy Sim Racing veteran Adam Briggs, currently holding twenty-first in the standings. It is a position no driver wants, but one that usually reveals how a driver responds when every point matters.
This week, we catch up with Adam to talk about the fight for qualification, the season so far, and what it will take to break into the top twenty before time runs out.
R: Heading into Bathurst, you’re the driver currently sitting in P21. Have you been happy with how your season has gone so far?
AB: The season started quite well. The last 2 rounds have been the worst which is fairly poor timing given the extra points for endurance races and in both cases we had factors we had little to no control over really,
R: Before the start of the series, what were your goals?
I had hoped to be near the top 10 this season, and for a large part of the season that goal was being nailed.
R: You’ve shown great speed at several rounds but have also seen your fair share of bad luck. What’s the secret to staying out of trouble and bringing the car home with a strong result?
I think the main secret to staying out of trouble is to let people trip on their own d***s, know who you are racing. some competitors can't help but be their own worst enemy.
R: The Bathurst 1000 is the final endurance race of the season. Is your approach any different for this event, or are you simply chasing the best result possible, no matter the risk?
We will put in as much time as life dictates. I mean at the end of the day we do this for fun. That doesn't mean we cannot take it seriously either but there is balance.
R: How important is it for you to make the top 20 and avoid going through the qualifying series?
I would really enjoy being inside the top 20 for the 3rd straight year, I just have to put my best foot forward and see how that falls. We have some mega guys around SSR at the moment with cool ideas. it's up to me to use and embrace that in a way that works for me.
