Wild weather is forecast for the 2022 edition of the Bathurst 1000 as Holden prepares to farewell the Great Race.

With more than 200,000 spectators expected to attend, and many of those camping, heavy rain is set to wreak havoc – and could influence the action on track just as equally.

As of midday Wednesday, the Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting rain every day of the Bathurst 1000 race weekend, with 5 to 10mm forecast for Thursday, 15 to 25mm on Friday, 20 to 30mm on Saturday, and 20 to 35mm on Sunday.

2017 winner David Reynolds labelled the predicted conditions ‘dismal’ – but said they would boost his chances.

Reynolds’ victory alongside Luke Youlden came in sodden conditions, the last real wet race around Mount Panorama.

“I’ve worked out over the last year or two racing this car (Grove Racing) that our car is pretty good in the wet,” Reynolds said.

“I want it to be wet. I think our chances increase if it rains.

“It’s looking pretty dismal over the weekend so that plays into our hands.”

HOLDEN SAYS GOODBYE

Fifty-three years after a Holden car won its first race, the proud manufacturing car will have its last spin as the Commodore prepares to make way for the GM Camaro as the Gen3 era prepares to hit the front line.

It means that it will be the last time Holden takes on Ford at Mount Panorama. Say it ain’t so.

Defending Bathurst champion Chaz Mostert will be partnered by new co-driver Fabian Coulthard for Walkinshaw Andretti United.

It will be WAU’s final Bathurst 1000 competing under the Holden banner before the famous former Holden Racing Team squad switches to Ford in 2023.

Mostert is one of the favourites and the 28 cars that start on the grid – 19 Commodore, nine Ford – will be chasing the Championship leader Shane van Gisbergen – the 2020 Bathurst winner – who will once again be partnered by Garth Tander.

Cameron Waters, meanwhile, is hoping it will be third time lucky after finishing runner-up in the past two Grace Races.

Will Davison is another in good form who will be a part of this week’s big four.

All the attention is on Holden though, having first won in 1969.

The great Peter Brock’s nine victories at Bathurst all came in a Holden.
