Bathurst 1000 time you little beauty, the best time of the year, except maybe Boxing Day Test... And for the first time in living memory, I'm actually going for the favourite, so I was able to kick off the old 'Kiss of Death' and win this magnificent race.


But fair dinkum, with all the prestige surrounding the great race, how could you not go for the leader of the shootout! The legendary 'Chiko Roll'.

Yes, all year I've been backing the David Reynolds TRADIE BEER CAN, but today I've switched to the Chiko Roll to take away the Brock trophy.




Erebus Motorsport, with star driver Brodie Kostecki and journeyman Todd Hazelwood, became the 2024 Repco Bathurst 1000 winners. The team at Erebus Motorsport prepared the Chiko roll-backed Chevrolet Camaro to perfection with Kostecki delivered a brilliant lap in the Top Ten Shootout to claim pole position to become only the sixth driver in Bathurst 1000 history to claim back-to-back poles.





From there, the duo never looked back. They dominated the race, leading for 157 laps. The win also marked Hazelwood’s first Supercars race win, in what was the fastest-ever Bathurst 1000, with a race time of five hours, 58 minutes, and 3.0649 seconds over 161 laps.
