Bathurst

The New Zealander sealed a repeat of his 2020 triumph with Garth Tander on a day when six safety cars were deployed inside 61 laps.

He has room to extend his record with legs at the Gold Coast and Adelaide to come. He now has the most wins in a season with 19, eclipsing the previous record of 18 by Scott McLaughlin. Davison’s late crash meant his teammate and brother Alex’s record of finishing every start at Bathurst came to an end. “It’s a privilege to add to the tally of Holden wins,” van Gisbergen said. He veered across the track and was smashed into by Dale Wood’s Holden, and Matt Campbell’s Ford Mustang joined the pile-up. When racing resumed on lap five, Zane Goddard’s Mustang left the track as he attempted to overtake and lost control re-joining the tarmac.

Shane van Gisbergen and Garth Tander took a fitting victory in the final Repco Bathurst 1000 that will feature the famous Holden brand.

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.

As they waited for the decision to come, a team member told me – completely seriously – that the Shootout would deliver the slowest qualifying times in half a century. we don’t have the ability to manage that in the time tomorrow.” Holdsworth said: “There would have been cars, 100 per cent, in the fence, so it was the right call … You have to pull everything out of the car, tidy it up, put it all back. Officials debated postponing the Shootout to later in the evening. The driveways to the farms and houses around the Mountain were only channelling the rain straight onto the track. “Yesterday, it was pretty wild in the wet, there were rivers across The Chase and Turn 1,” pole-sitter Cameron Waters said. It inched around the flooded track – surprisingly driving in front of the Safety Car. He walked to the track on Saturday – and even the general carpark was closed. The on-track action on Friday was wetter, and wilder, than the day before. One fan I spoke to said he was bogged four times exiting the general carpark on Friday night (and he wasn’t alone there). Earlier in the week, a Supercars organiser told me: “It happens every year.
