The complete race, including the vision from the ad breaks!

The latest release from Chevron Marketing Services features another full race from the Bathurst 1000 archives - the 2009 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

Garth Tander could have been forgiven for thinking Bathurst was an easy race to win. After all, he won it in only his third start – in what was his second full season in the V8 Supercars Championship.

But the Bathurst-winning drought that followed – eight long years – surely disavowed him of that misconception. It’s always a difficult race to win, and that was certainly true of Tander's second Bathurst triumph in 2009. Tander and Holden Racing Team team-mate Will Davison started their Commodore VE from pole position and led 97 laps of the 161-lap journey.

But it was a much harder-won victory than those numbers suggest, because this was a race that Ford could have won. Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup were trying to win four Bathurst 1000s in a row, but they were always coming from behind after an early drive-through penalty for an unsafe release.

The FPR Falcon of Steve Richards and Mark Winterbottom dropped out after their car caught fire. In the end it was a triumphant day for Holden as Commodores filled the first four spots, with Lowndes and Whincup fifth in Triple Eight’s last Bathurst with Ford before it switched to Holden. They were the only Ford in the Top 10.

This release features footage that aired during the commercial breaks which was not broadcast at the time. It does not feature any support races.

Duration: Approximately 7 hours, 50 minutes
