HOLDEN CLAIMS THE BATHURST 1000 GLORY IN THE GREAT RACE

-

Shane van Gisbergen has moved to within touching distance of the Australian Supercars title after sharing victory in the Bathurst 1000 with Garth Tander.

The Triple Eight duo dominated the event and finished clear of the similar machine of Chaz Mostert and Fabian

Coulthard in their Walkinshaw

Andretti United car with the Tickford Ford Mustang of James Moffat and

Cam Waters in third spot.

Van Gisbergen extended his lead over Waters in the drivers’championsh­ip and there are four rounds of the series remaining in the campaign in 2022.

It was the last appearance at Mount Panorama for Holden as an official brand, as the car is no longer built and, unless it is successful in the hands of privateers, that calls time on the make’s victory chances.
