2025 Repco Supercars Championship - Repco Bathurst 1000

The Holy Grail of Australian motorsports, the Bathurst 1000, returns for the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship. With 1000km of blood, sweat, and tears poured into this legendary Australian endurance race, the drivers showcased their "never say die" attitude to overcome Australia's legendary race.

Screengrab from Supercars

During the race, seven safety car periods were implemented, primarily due to incidents caused by wet conditions and crashes. Major incidents occurred at Griffins Bend and The Cutting. Heavy rain started halfway through the race, reducing visibility and creating treacherous driving conditions for the final stretch. Key moments included Golding colliding with Murray at Griffins Bend, Stanaway crashing at The Cutting, and Payne skillfully managing a wild slide at The Chase.​

Thanks to the #31 PremiAir Racing Camaro of James Golding and David Russell, demoted to third place after the penalty, despite crossing to the finish line in P1, the #100 Penrite Racing Ford Mustang of Matthew Payne and Garth Tander is named the winner, putting Ford back to the summit of Mount Panorama. The #20 TRADIE Energy Camaro of David Reynolds and Lee Holdsworth finished in 2nd place.

The Bathurst 1000 may be over, but the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship has three races left. The next event is the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 this October 24-26, 2025.

Super Formula 2025 - Round 9

The first race got cut short after seven laps due to rainy conditions. The red flag was triggered by Lap 7 due to the weather. Sasha Fenestraz of VANTELIN TEAM TOM'S, who was leading the race, was named that race's winner, with his teammate Sho Tsuboi finishing 2nd, and MUGEN's Tomoki Nojiri finishing 3rd.

The final race was cancelled due to foggy conditions, over three hours after the recent knockout qualifying.

The 2025 Super Formula final will take place at Mobility Resort Motegi from November 21 to 23, 2025. It could potentially be a three-race finale to compensate for the recent cancellation of the final race at Fuji due to foggy conditions. 

With the title battle heating up between Sho Tsuboi, Ayumu Iwasa, and Kakunoshin Ota, this is an event you won't want to miss!
