Matt Payne and Garth Tander Win Dramatic Bathurst 1000

Matt Payne and Garth Tander have won a dramatic Bathurst 1000 auto race in a Ford Mustang, despite crossing the line in second place and starting from 18th on the grid.

James Golding was first across the line in a Chevrolet, but was carrying a five-second time penalty, which lifted Payne into first place and David Reynolds into second. Golding and teammate David Russell finished third.

The race was marked by torrential rain, low cloud, multiple crashes, safety cars, and repeated lead changes in the final laps, producing some of the most extraordinary scenes in the 65-year history of Australia's most prestigious auto race.
