Bathurst 1000

Morning, Ben.

I was visiting a friend of mine, Clary, in her nursing home, and when I turned up there with the kids, there was an older lady sitting in the reception area watching the Bathurst 1000 turned up to about 11 on the dial, and I thought, you never know who's going to be into the great race.

It's great, isn't it, Ben? It sort of captures the nation.

Non-motorsport fans tune in.

It just seems like another level of bureaucracy in an organisation that doesn't have a lot of success.

So we'll delve into that and we'll catch up with the mayor of Bathurst off the back of a huge weekend.

200,000 people for Mount Panorama and the Bathurst 1000.

So a big show coming up.

Brodie Kostecki has found a way out of trouble.

Brodie Kostecki in the number 17 Dick Johnson Racing Mustang comes across the line and claims victory in the Bathurst 1000.

Coxie and Mark Skaife doing us proud on SEN.

It was one of the great Bathursts again yesterday.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen won the Grand Prix to make it a perfect weekend in Singapore after also taking the chequered flag in the sprint.

Meanwhile, New Zealand's Shane Van Gisbergen has finished seventh in the latest NASCAR race in Charlotte, and Australians Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood claimed a remarkable comeback victory in yesterday's Bathurst 1000 after leader Anton Di Pasquale ran out of fuel on the final lap.

Australia's Steve Smith set a record for the most test cricket catches as his side finished the third day of the first test with a 139-run lead over hosts South Africa and Kingsmead.

Smith took four superb catches to take his test tally to 223, going past the record of 220 held by England's Joe Root.

Brodie Kostecki has found a way out of trouble.

Brodie Kostecki, in the number 17 Dick Johnson Racing Mustang, [crowd cheering] comes across the line and claims victory in the Bathurst 1000.

The Mountain always delivers in the most dramatic way.

It was no different yesterday.

[upbeat music] Now on Coz and Heals, it's time for On This Day.

Yeah, on this day 2014, Chaz Mostert and Paul Morris win the Bathurst 1000 after starting last on the grid and only taking the lead on the last lap.

Jamie Whincup runs out of fuel as well.

Mm.

Garth Tander

...

Garth Tander win a dramatic edition of the Bathurst 1000.

Wet conditions play havoc with the field.

that's right, Kat.

So Brodie Kostecki and Toddy Hazelwood have won the Bathurst 1000, but absolute chaos on the last lap of Mount Panorama and the race later.

So Anton Di Pasquale incredibly ran out of fuel on the last lap.

He's run out of fuel.

Extraordinary scenes.

This is an extraordinary moment for the story Dick Johnson racing.

Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood from the clouds and win the Red Coat Bathurst 1000.

Oh, okay.

But anyway, so it's so expensive.

So I was watching Bathurst yesterday, watching The Great Race, The King of the Mountain, Brockie, and it was like...

Into the last lap.

The last lap.

The WA boy, of course, we talked about the lack of fuel of Anton Di Pasquale running out of fuel in the last lap.

And Brodie Kostecki, the West Aussie boy, is now won his second Bathurst 1000.

He's a proud West Aussie.

And he'll be joining us later in the show.
