After all the build up and all the questions, the time for Australia’s Great Race has come again with the Supercars championship ready to tackle another 1000km at one of the world’s most fabled circuits in Mount Panorama. Join The Roar for live blog coverage of the 2022 Bathurst 1000 from 10:50am (AEDT) to find out who will be crowned King of the Mountain.
The Bathurst 1000 returns this year to its traditional October date, following two interrupted seasons where it was run as the Supercars finale during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
With that, comes the return of a full capacity crowd upon the hills of the 6.2km public road in Bathurst, west of the Blue Mountains. And that is regardless of the heavy rainfall that has impacted the event since the opening practice sessions on Thursday.
So unprecedented has been the weather, that conditions were deemed too extreme ahead of the Top Ten Shootout and thus the eagerly anticipated session to determine pole position was cancelled.
The top ten now will be formed in the order it was set during Friday’s qualifying session, along with the rest of the field. Tickford’s Cameron Waters has his second Bathurst pole, sharing with co-driver James Moffat – while reigning race winner Lee Holdsworth will join him on the front-row with rookie co-driver Matt Payne.
Though given the weather, expect the unexpected. The Mountain already conjures many added variables; the obvious being the longer distance racing with co-drivers. Strategy wise, there will be a minimum of 54-laps required for the co-drivers to complete and a minimum of seven compulsory pit-stops for fuel, tyres and brake changes.
That is the beauty and the spectacle of endurance racing though. 1000km at Bathurst is just magical and there’s no knowing what The Mountain has in store for any driver on the day. The key is just survival and buying a ticket to the final stint, where if you’re on the lead lap – you’re still in contention.
It will certainly be an emotional one for Holden fans, as it is the final ever Great Race for the Commodore. The last two winners have been Commodores, so a treble would be a fitting farewell for the iconic nameplate. While for Ford, the legendary Dick Johnson Racing outfit celebrates its 1000th race – at a venue where the man himself won four times.
There are 27 individual Bathurst 1000 wins amongst the 28-car field, including wildcards featuring seven-time winner Craig Lowndes and four-time champ Greg Murphy, who returns to the Mountain with the fast Kiwi Richie Stanaway.
In terms of the Supercars championship, Shane van Gisbergen has a 525-point lead over polesitter Waters. If the Kiwi finishes 600-points clear of his nearest rival at the end of the 161 laps, then he’ll be a three-time Supercars champion too.

Thanks Jawab. Great race. van Gisbergen is amazing in that he won the NZ GP in a single seater after starting from the back of the grid, finished 9th overall last week in WRC in NZ (3rd in class) and wins Bathurst. Great drive from Mostert for second as well. And just now Latifi got 9th in F1 Suzuka racing in the wet. I was amazed he could stay on the track at all given his previous form. Dan hasn't been shafted. He has done it to himself. Could've been the Alpine star if he hadn't taken the McLaren money to become a journeyman. He won't make F1 again unless Haas want him and I reckon they should grab him.

That wraps up this live blog of the Bathurst 1000, thank you all again for tuning in and leaving your comments. It has been a great pleasure to cover this special race for The Roar. Supercars will hit the track again on the streets of the Gold Coast for the Gold Coast 500 on October 28 and I'll have the talking points back from then. Until then, take care and bye for now.

A 36th and final victory for Holden at the Bathurst 1000! Second in the career for Shane van Gisbergen and a fifth for Garth Tander as well. Van Gisbergen also sets the record for most wins in a single Supercars season as well with his 19th of 2022. The 33-year old Kiwi won't wrap up the championship either, but has the gap has extended out to 567-points.

In hindsight the race was all over when 888 made the strategic call to stay out to claw back their 5 sec penalty, then got the SC that allowed then to pit and come out in front still. Giz has been the fastest all year and was uncatchable after that.

A second was the margin back to Chaz Mostert! Solid drive from he and Fabian Coulthard. And rounding out the podium is Cameron Waters/James Moffat, who fly the flag for Ford.

Lap 159/161: SVG looks as if he's pulled out more of a margin over Mostert. The gap is 1.2 second across the top of the hill.

Lap 158/161: There was a squeak from SVG into the Elbow with a little lock up, this has invited Mostert to within 0.7 of the Red Bull Commodore!

Lap 157/161: 5 LAPS TO GO Still a second between van Gisbergen and Mostert. Waters has dropped off this duo more so now, but has a gap to Kostecki.

Lap 156/161: Mostert was the fastest car on that last lap, with an 0.0008 second difference between his and SVG's lap time. The gap on track is still within a second.

Lap 155/161: Gap between van Gisbergen and Mostert is back down to 1.1 seconds. Chaz still has pace in hand, but what is the status of his tyres? Mostert's tyre have suffered in the previous stints so how is this set getting on?

Lap 154/161: Mostert has a massive slide coming out of Turn 1 and got into the muck! He's recovered it nicely, but lost 0.4 to SVG which might be crucial.

Lap 153/161: Less than 10 laps to go and Mostert has cut that gap to under a second now! Waters has dropped off these top two as well. So this top two fight has been energised again!

Lap 152/161: Another fastest lap from SVG with a 2:06.266! He is now on fire out there with his pace. What does Mostert and Waters have in response though?

Lap 151/161: Van Gisbergen with the fastest lap of the race on that last one with a 2:06.455. And he sets a purple first and second sector on this lap again!
