The 2026 Repco Bathurst 1000 will be remembered as a breakthrough event for Matt Stone Racing, with rookie Zach Bates delivering a remarkable performance aboard the #10 Bendix Racing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to claim pole position and finish third alongside co-driver Aaron Seton.

Bates made his intentions clear early in the weekend, claiming provisional pole position on Friday while setting a new Gen3 lap record around Mount Panorama. He then backed up that performance in Saturday’s Top Ten Shootout, securing outright pole position for Australia’s Great Race and becoming the first rookie to achieve the feat since Marcos Ambrose in 2001.

It was a historic achievement for Bates and Matt Stone Racing, but the weekend wasn’t over yet.

With Aaron Seton completing an impressive opening stint, the pair remained firmly in contention throughout Sunday’s 161-lap contest. Strong race pace, excellent pit stops and smart strategy from the Bendix Racing crew ultimately saw the #10 Camaro cross the finish line in third place, completing a memorable weekend with a well-deserved Bathurst podium.

From a record-breaking qualifying performance to a podium finish in Australia’s most prestigious motor race, the #10 Bendix Racing Camaro delivered one of the standout stories of the 2026 Bathurst 1000.

This 1:43 scale release is scheduled to be produced in high quality sealed body die-cast with clear windows, detailed racing cockpit and undercarriage details unique to the Gen3 floorpan.
