The 2023 Repco Supercars Championship continues with what's known to be the Holy Grail of Australian motorsports, the Repco Bathurst 1000, held at the famous Mount Panorama circuit. Some say this is the Supercars enduro race that matters and it really is. The perfect test for the Gen3 Supercars machines to push themselves beyond their limits.
Jamie Whincup's strong start, a big contact into The Chase that sent Simona De Silvestro out of bounds, a caution-triggering mistake by Kevin Estre, a wheel-to-wheel contact between Wood and Pye, a blown engine for the #8 Camaro race car, and a heartbreak for the #88 Camaro. These are the key moments that occurred during the course of this 161-lap thriller in Bathurst.
