Huge congratulations to Matt Payne and Garth Tander, who started from 18th position and claimed 1st place with Penrite /Grove Racing. The victory marks Penrite’s first Bathurst win and Ford’s first since 2019!
In a race dominated by wet weather and seven safety car periods, the battle for the Peter Brock Trophy boiled down to a stunning final run to the chequered flag. David Reynolds and Lee Holdsworth delivered a remarkable runner-up finish, just 0.9s behind his team mate.
These men showed incredible skill, determination, and teamwork, proving once again that Apex-backed drivers deliver on and off the track.
From all of us at Apex Steel Group, well done on a thrilling Bathurst 1000!
