Cameron Waters, fresh from a stint in the NASCAR Cup Series at Sonoma Raceway, made a dramatic return to the Supercars Championship at the 2024 Darwin Triple Crown held at Hidden Valley Raceway. His comeback was highly anticipated following a challenging but high-profile experience in the United States, where he competed with RFK Racing.
Waters aimed to build on the momentum from his impressive podium finishes earlier in the season and his recent international exposure. The Darwin Triple Crown, a highlight of the Supercars calendar featuring cars adorned with unique Indigenous liveries, provided the perfect backdrop for Waters to showcase his skills and resilience
The Hidden Valley circuit, known for its demanding layout and warm conditions, presented a formidable challenge. Waters demonstrated his usual aggressive driving style and was a strong contender from the outset. However, his race was abruptly interrupted by a dramatic incident in which his car caught fire, forcing him to retire early from the competition.

Despite the disappointment, Waters remains a key figure in the Supercars Championship. His ability to rebound from setbacks and consistently perform at a high level keeps him in contention for the title. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on how Waters leverages his international experience and addresses the challenges ahead to continue his pursuit of championship glory
