Cameron Waters – aptly named, perhaps – rode out the storm to qualify for provisional pole. Racing with brother Jake Kostecki, the pair are hoping to improve on their 13th-place finish in 2021.

The Top 10 Shootout for the Repco Bathurst 1000 has been cancelled due to torrential rain at Mount Panorama.

It's been a long road for the Melbourne native but, after two lengthy battles, he's finally got a full-time drive to look forward to On the face of it, picking an 18-year-old rookie to replace arguably the greatest Supercars driver of all time is a risky move. His decision to leave Brad Jones Racing was the biggest shock of the Australian Supercars silly season so far.

For the final time, Fords will battle it out against Holden Commodores at the great race around Mount Panorama for the Bathurst 1000.

In short, there are plenty of options for Holden fans to get behind on Sunday — and frankly any will do for the hardy masses who've braved the rain. Next year, Supercars' long-awaited shift to the Gen3 model of cars will come into play, meaning a huge change will take place in the cars we see tearing around the tracks in Australia's domestic championship. The factory backing of Holden's teams ended the year after, but Commodores have prevailed on the grid and will continue to do so right up until the end of this season at the Adelaide 500 in early December. To have one without the other is ripping the heart out of one of Australia's greatest deictic rivalries. This year, for the last time, the Lion-crested cars will roar around the Mountain, fly through the cutting and bring joy to the thousands of red-flag waving supporters who line the course. It's the end of an era at Bathurst — and Supercars as a whole.

The Repco Bathurst 1000 kicks into gear this weekend with Seven's live coverage covering the all-important race and celebrations.

Melbourne: 10:30 am Sydney: 10:30 am Fan favourites Brad Hodge and Emma Freedman will bring viewers all the colour, excitement and atmosphere from the mountain, while Mark Larkham reports live from pit lane.

Supercars Championship teams are preparing for a mixed conditions Repco Bathurst 1000 with a number of clever tricks in pit lane.

“The ability to be able to change settings in a race with changeable conditions gives the engineer and the drivers the freedom to have a car more suited to wet conditions. “We’ve developed our process of changing the calliper, disc and pads all in one go with the use of electric tools that have been allowed for a few years now. It means the team will be more adaptable to the weather conditions in the 1000km enduro, with the strategic possibility of quickly changing the wing angle on #88 and #97 in a pit stop. “Doing it manually, sometimes you can, but then it’s not as consistent and not as reliable for doing it in a short amount of time. It is a particularly critical set-up item, where one would usually run more wing angle in wet conditions and taper it out in the dry. One way Triple Eight Race Engineering is combating that is a method of changing the rear wing angle in the pit stops.

It's here. 161 laps around Mount Panorama, 1000 kilometres in all. The Great Race – the 2022 Bathurst 1000 – begins at 11.15am AEDT.

The first race of the day delivered an ominous warning of what could be to come for the remainder of the day. It is a great result after the Top 10 Shootout was cancelled. There are wonderful stories all up and down the grid. From the returning veterans lighting up the track, to the stunning crashes, to the wild weather causing absolute chaos and the first cancellation of the Top 10 Shootout in its 44-year history. The weather is set to play a crucial role, as it has all weekend. The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts a 60 per cent chance of any rain, with just 0 to 2mm likely. But the green flag waved and the action began in earnest – before ending in tragedy. But for James Courtney, this weekend is like no other. The Great Race – the 2022 Bathurst 1000 – begins at 11.15am AEDT. Cameron Waters, twice runner-up, starts from pole (with James Moffat), but is only second-favourite with the bookies behind 2020 winner Shane van Gisbergen. 42-year-old Dontas has been a mainstay of the SuperUtes competition, having stood on the podium in the Bathurst round of the competition in the past. 161 laps around Mount Panorama, 1000 kilometres in all.

There will be 28 cars on the starting grid come 11:15am, and they're all going to go racing for 1000km. To the second point, that they're professional drivers. I'm happy with the call." He said the single-lap nature of the top-10 shootout was what made it impossible. that's a difficult thing to do," he said. Let's talk about the former first. "I thought Supercars made the right decision, because for us 10 drivers to go out there on a warm up lap in a cold car and then ask us to go and try and do something special in those conditions … "The water on the track was worrying, but the biggest thing for a top-10 shootout is you just have no tyre or car temperature, and these cars are quite sketchy in those conditions," he said. All of those things are impossible in a shootout lap, where they roll out of the pits for a single warmup-cum-sighting lap, and then it's go. We didn't get it. The cars also need to be hot to run properly, and it takes several laps in those sort of conditions to build enough temperature for the car to operate correctly. The usual tripe - "just drive to the conditions", or "they're supposed to be professionals".
