Matt Payne and Garth Tander gave Grove Racing and Ford a dramatic victory in a 2025 Bathurst 1000 that was hit with mixed conditions at Mount Panorama on Sunday.
A race that started under brilliant blue skies became a fight for survival when bad weather rolled in, turning the 6.213km circuit into an ice rink. After six safety car interventions, the race came down to a three-car train, sliding around in near-darkness and all in contention for the win.
