The 2022 Repco Bathurst 1000 featured 28 cars entered in the event making it the
biggest grid seen for the Great Race since 2013.
Of those cars, 19 Holden ZB Commodores would feature – in what would be the final
time Holden would race at the mountain in the 1000 – along with 9 Ford Mustang
GTs. Of those cars, three wildcards were entered and a wet and wild weekend of
racing ensued.
Such was the wild nature of the weather, the Top 10 Shootout had to be cancelled
due to safety concerns. With rivers of water flowing down the mountain on late
Saturday afternoon, it was the first time since its introduction in 1977 that the
Shootout wasn’t held. As a result, the top 10 starting positions were determined
based on the previous days qualifying.
One of the wildcard entries was the popular Boost Mobile Racing Powered by Erebus
duo of Richie Stanaway and 4x Bathurst 1000 winner Greg Murphy driving the #51
Holden ZB Commodore. Stanaway, was super impressive in the wet conditions to
have the car sitting in 4th position on the grid come race day.
Having an experienced co-driver in 2022 was definitely a massive bonus for teams
and Murphy was certainly that, starting the race and avoiding the chaos of the
opening laps. The duo made it as high as 2nd place during the race but a collision
on lap 61 sent them a lap down which ultimately cost them the chance of a real shot
at the podium. After managing to get back on the lead lap in the late stages of the
race, they finished in a respectable 11th place.
Ultimately it was an incredible return to the mountain for both drivers and it was
clear the fans really loved the #51 entry.
The 1:18 scale model is scheduled to be produced in sealed body resin with clear
windows and detailed interior in a limited edition with an individually numbered
Certificate of Authenticity.
