Bathurst 2022

In the last couple of laps, I just got Andrew to talk a bit more and stayed concentrated. A brand which once carried the tag of “Australia’s driving future” is without one of its own. Garth was just on it this year, and Andrew this year has been epic, now he has won the most ever races in a season as an engineer,” van Gisbergen said. “It’s a team effort and a fan effort, all the support for Holden, it’s special. We didn’t quite have the tool we needed to do the job last year and he gave us the car we needed to get the job done. All you’ve got to do is give Shane the right tool to do the job and he’ll get the job done.”

Shane Van Gisbergen has sent Holden out a winner at Bathurst, surviving absolute carnage on the mountain to claim the famous race victory.

Over the top of the hill now for the last time." His balance, his fight, his passion for the sport is unrivalled. “This is going to be one of the storylines of the day.

Van Gisbergen and Tander won their second Bathurst 1000 as a combination, with the latter scoring his fifth to draw level with Steven Richards in the record books. But just when van Gisbergen looked to drive into the distance, Mostert found some extra pace and brought deficit back to within a second with nine laps to go. With a 16-lap sprint to the flag, van Gisbergen led last year’s winner Mostert, Kostecki, Waters and Feeney at the restart. Car #17 finished DJR’s 1000th race in the wall at Griffin’s Bend, bringing out the eighth safety car and giving a free kick for van Gisbergen to top up and remain in the lead. Shane van Gisbergen and Garth Tander have driven Holden to a famous win in the brand’s final ever lap of The Mountain, holding off Chaz Mostert in a nail-biting conclusion to the 2022 Bathurst 1000. It was a big enough moment to give car #97 a more than a second of breathing space, and van Gisbergen is too good of a driver not to seize on such opportunities.

All the support for Holden was special,” van Gisbergen said. His focus and ability to punch out laps like that. Can’t really believe it to be honest. Seriously impressive to watch. “Don’t know what to say. It was a result that gave Holden a victory in its last ever appearance at Mount Panorama, as well as giving the Kiwi a record-breaking 19th win of the season – his 73rd career win.

The final fight between Ford and Holden at Mount Panorama has resulted in a knockout win and a 1-2 finish for the red lion brand.

Van Gisbergen started to stretch an advantage, setting a 2:06.2 to set the fastest lap of the race, to which Mostert responded with a 2:06.3 the next lap around. The top three began to escape, with Feeney holding up Waters, Holdsworth and the pair of Dick Johnson Mustangs, until a wide moment at The Chase allowed Waters and Holdsworth to pass. A mix of co-drivers and main-game drivers took the restart on lap 46, with Moffat stepping into the #6 trying to defend from the #99 Erebus car with Kostecki still at the wheel. On board replays suggested a missed downshift while braking for the Elbow caused the car to burst into wheelspin, with Nick unable to control the slide, tagging the wall on both sides of the track. The track began to dry on the resumption of action, with the #100 Dick Johnson Racing car with Tony D’Alberto at the wheel, as the only car not to stop. The fifth Safety Car of the afternoon was called immediately after, required to retrieve the #96 Brad Jones Racing Commodore from the gravel trap at Pit Entry. This backed up the group behind, with Mostert looking to break through, aborting a move at the Cutting before throwing it down the inside of Kostecki at the Elbow. Kostecki ran wide at the apex, getting on to the grass, and getting bogged in the sodden grass. Goddard speared across the track, colliding with the #8 Brad Jones Racing car of Dale Wood, and leaving Matt Campbell in the #26 Grove Racing Commodore nowhere to go. Whincup hit a puddle and burst into wheelspin at the same time De Pasquale put two wheels on the grass, and in the melee the #9 got a tap and spun ahead of the group, with #88 pitched into a spin as well. An alternate strategy to put Coulthard in against the main-game drivers to allow Mostert the opportunity to race against the co-drivers later in the race saw them finally break through the back end of the top 10, fighting again with the #99 Erebus Motorsport Commodore, and the #6 Tickford Racing Mustang. They had to contend with a 5 second penalty for an unsafe release early in the day, and were off strategy to try and compensate.

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.

but at his best, he’s as good as we’ve ever seen,” he said. Seriously impressive to watch. We lost count of how many we signed. “I don’t know where I am, crazy,” he said in the immediate aftermath of the win. “How many Holden flags are around this weekend? “The last couple of laps I was trying to keep focus but it was a pretty big distraction (all the Holden fans and flags).”

The Bathurst champion then sat on the pit wall with his head in his hands until it was time to start. it was beyond your wildest dreams. "And then to get a start here was was amazing, and to have a win ... "And now to stand here as a five-time winner of the race. Like the rest of the media commitments, Tander spoke for a couple of minutes - he himself not feeling all that flash - with van Gisbergen's only contribution being a thumbs up and "I'm good", before waving and walking straight back to the car. The pair teamed up to win a chaotic Bathurst 1000 at the Mount Panorama circuit on Sunday - a win for Holden in the brand's final appearance at the circuit. "I still remember as a young kid growing up sitting on the couch watching this race with my dad, and just dreaming of one day driving around the track," he said. He had to be woken up to get out of the car, and let Tander carry the Peter Brock Trophy to the assembled media, while he walked around behind the Mustang of Cameron Waters and James Moffat, which was being worked on in pit lane. Rather than walking up to reporters in pit lane, van Gisbergen was driven up to the cameras. The last commitment of the morning was a media conference with journalists in pit lane. Appearing on Nine's Today on Monday morning, van Gisbergen acknowledged the camera, gave a salute, said "I was here", and then disappeared off camera.
