Local winners recognised at Mount Panorama
2025 Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour winner Dean Campbell – a Bathurst local – will be immortalised on the Mountain forever after being presented with his winners plaque by the region’s Mayor today.
Bathurst Regional Council Mayor, Cr. Robert ‘Stumpy’ Taylor, presented Campbell with his plaque today, with the permanent reminder of he and Cameron Crick’s epic 2025 triumph to be installed in the Bathurst enduro ‘winners walk’ at the base of the Peter Brock statue just outside the National Motor Racing Museum.
The DA Campbell Transport team were the ninth winners of the Bathurst 6 Hour, with the 10th to be awarded this Sunday.
They join 23 prior Bathurst 12 Hour winners and two years of Bathurst 24 Hour winners in the area that commemorates the Mountain’s ‘other’ key enduros, outside of the annual 1000km race in October.
Campbell & Crick’s win was notable for setting several records; the headiest of all becoming the team to win a Bathurst enduro from the lowest possible starting position – 66th position.
They also set the race’s lap record on the final lap and won by the smallest margin in 6-hour history.
The team returns this year in a bid for a rare Bathurst double and literally dusted the car off following last year’s win – it spent much of the intervening time located in the Museum just behind Murray’s Corner.
Thursday has been a busy build-up day towards Bathurst’s biggest enduro with all 70 cars now in the full Mount Panorama pit lane complex.
Those include the brand-new Kia Stinger GT which is making it’s first appearance on the Mountain this weekend.
To be driven by David Worrell, Scott Walker and Richard Luff in Class B1 (High Performance, Forced Induction), it’s the first of it’s kind to be entered in Bathurst’s biggest enduro.
The Kia is one of 13 brands and 30 models entered in the 70-car field this weekend.
