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.

Welcome to Wide World of Sports' LIVE Coverage of the Bathurst 1000 from Mount Panorama. It's race day!

Mount Panorama is for the most part a parkland street circuit. The flooding on the two straights was caused by water flowing out of the campgrounds, pit paddock and driveways, and was pooling at Hell Corner. After minor flooding on the pit and Mountain Straights forced the cancellation of the top-10 shootout for the first time in its 44-year history,

There were a number of drivers that had the grid positions of their cars determined on Friday as they didn’t make it to the shootout. “I thought it was possible for Richie to be able to do what he did in the wet or dry, because I have a lot of confidence in this car and Erebus have proven they’re fast here,” Murphy said. “If you’re 24th you’re at the back of the pack and it makes your day pretty hard,” Murphy said. The decision turned out to be a bonus for the team at car No 51 as it’s unheard of for a wildcard entrant to start the great race on the second row, which has happened with Stanaway’s stunning qualifying session. There was extra attention paid to Murrays Corner, the last on the circuit, as this was where puddles were at their biggest and it’s a spot where the drivers have to brake heavily and make a sharp left turn. That led to the cancellation of a Porsche and Super2 race and with no let up, questions started to be asked about the shootout.

Hope remained for the top-10 shootout as rain began to ease, but drainage issues on the pit and Mountain Straights left Motorsport Australia little choice. The shootout will not be rescheduled, for the morning, meaning Cameron Waters and James Moffat will start on pole position for tomorrow's Bathurst 1000. The top-10 shootout for the Bathurst 1000 has been cancelled for the first time in its 44-year history.

"This is going to be one of the storylines of the day. The cars are hard to get off the line. We had 10 of them in 2006 and a pile of Safety Car laps. Seton had gone into the wall hard during practice on Saturday. Everyone was crossing the water and a few tagged together. Collision on the exits of The Chase. The minute you are off the asphalt here there will be absolutely in grip. I am betting we will see a lot of them today." I'm sure Zane didn't mean any of that," Courtney said. That is not what everyone needs." He's clipped Woody and I have had nowhere to go. "A shame to in our day like that.

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.

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.

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 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.
