The 2025 Repco Bathurst 1000 was a race for the ages, and the build-up to the Great Race was just as thrilling, with the annual Top 10 Shootout once again delivering a spectacular show for motorsport fans.

After topping Friday’s qualifying to secure provisional pole, Shell V-Power Racing Team’s Brodie Kostecki rose to the occasion again on Saturday afternoon when it really counted.

Last out on track in the Shootout, Kostecki and the #38 Shell V-Power Mustang delivered under pressure — setting a blistering 2:04.0413s lap to seal pole position for the 1000km epic around Mount Panorama. His effort narrowly eclipsed Tickford rival Cam Waters’ impressive 2:04.2173s to claim the top spot.

The result marked Kostecki’s third consecutive Bathurst 1000 pole after his 2023 and 2024 successes with Erebus Motorsport — an extraordinary feat that sees him join legends Peter Brock (1977–1979) and Allan Moffat (1970–1972) as only the third driver in history to achieve the hat-trick. It also represented the fourth official Bathurst pole for the iconic Dick Johnson Racing outfit.
