The last 1000 kilometers of this season, the last 1000 kilometers for the Holden Commodore racers, really means so much for everyone involved in the Supercars season in the midst of the new normal. It has been one heck of a ride since the season resumed and with Holdens enjoying their final day at Bathurst, this has become the finale that forever changed the Supercars landscape.
From unpredictable weather conditions, dramatic crashes, and tense fights, the season-ending Bathurst 1000 really sums it up spectacularly.
In the end, Shane Van Gisbergen and Garth Tander gave the Red Bull Holden racecar the biggest sendoff they've pulled after winning the Bathurst 1000 while Cameron Waters and Will Davidson finished 2nd and Chaz Mostert and Warren Luff finished 3rd.
The 2020 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship is over. With McLaughlin won his third title and SVG delivered the ultimate Holden tribute with his Bathurst 1000 win, this season really is special in the midst of the new normal. The Commodore racing machines will continue to race for next year without factory support until they are replaced by the Chevrolet Camaro as part of Gen3 rules for 2022.
Until then, see you next season!
