It wasn't necessarily an action-packed day at Mount Panorama with the Great Race far from a classic for many of the 161 laps.

The race came alive in the dying stages though when Anton De Pasquale and Lee Holdsworth were robbed of what looked like a certain victory when their Camaro ran out of fuel.

Devastation for Team 18 meant elation for Dick Johnson Racing as Kostecki and Hazelwood snatched victory.

What did De Pasquale and Adrian Burgess have to say? How did Kostecki react? And who were the other winners and losers out of the Bathurst 1000?

It is a feel good story for the ages, although the sheer number of Camaros near the top of the times did raise eyebrows.

Despite the efforts to give the Fords a leg up at Bathurst's altitude, is the Blue Oval really in the race?

And, for the second day running, where were the Toyotas?

Go behind the scenes of a tense opening day of the 2026 Bathurst 1000 – more off-track than on it – with the Thursday edition of our daily podcasts.

The pre-Bathurst parity war continued into the first day of track action at Mount Panorama with Ford finally granted its engine wishes.

The decision came so late, however, that the changes couldn't be applied in time for the first practice session.

Meanwhile, the ongoing TRC and calendar negotiations added to the tension in the Bathurst paddock.

Former Legend and AVL run through it all in detail.

It was still an important win as he looks to salvage his reputation, while the Baku nearly bit points leader Kimi Antonelli, but Antonelli held his nerve in the race after his nasty qualifying crash.
