We are two days down into the Bathurst 1000, and qualifying is in the books.

It’s time for the big one, the one we’ve all been waiting for, the Bathurst 1000.

Mother Nature won today, with Race 30 being declared due to weather.

Saturday night was a race that had it all. Safety car, rain at the end, a tyre we haven’t run here, and a grandstand finish.

Our final weekend in Sydney awaits, the penultimate round of the 2021 Supercars Championship, and there will be plenty to look out for as Chaz and Bryce build into Bathurst.

0.007. That was the difference between Chaz and a podium, missing out by the slimmest of margins after a drag race to the line with Shane van Gisbergen.

It was a day that started positively but finished in disappointing fashion on both sides of the garage.

It’s time for week three here in Sydney, as we return to daytime running across Saturday and Sunday.

What more can you say about Chaz? Started last due to a penalty in qualifying for (damaged) body work, stayed positive, put his head down, and drove all the way third!
