DRIVER PAIRINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR AT THIS YEAR'S BATHURST 1000 SUPERCARS RACE:

* BRODIE KOSTECKI-TODD HAZELWOOD (NO.38 - DICK JOHNSON RACING)

Bathurst best: Kostecki - 1st (2024); Hazelwood - 1st (2024)

Can last year's Bathurst 1000 winners go back-to-back with a new team and car? Their maiden The Bend 500 win last month would suggest the Dick Johnson Racing duo are capable. Kostecki will take some beating at Mount Panorama, the track where he is most comfortable regardless of the car. Kostecki has also claimed Bathurst 1000 pole position since 2023. Shane van Gisbergen was the last driver to secure consecutive victories, winning in 2022 with Garth Tander and then again in 2023 with Richie Stanaway.

* BROC FEENEY-JAMIE WHINCUP (NO.88 - RED BULL AMPOL)

Bathurst best: Feeney - 2nd (2024)
