For the final time, Fords will battle it out against Holden Commodores at the great race around Mount Panorama for the Bathurst 1000.

Defending Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen will be desperate to claim a second career Bathurst crown to go with his 2020 title.Van Gisbergen has 2,782 points thanks to his record-equalling 18 race wins so far this year, a 525-point lead over second-placed Cam Walters with three races to go.

Will Davison, Anton de Pasquale and Chaz Mostert are also in mathematical contention of claiming the title but their title shots are almost impossibly long. There are 300 points on offer for each race win, meaning a victory at Bathurst and anything lower than fourth for Waters will see the title once again be claimed by the flying Kiwi.Given the expected conditions — the BOM predicts 80 per cent chance of 10mm of rain, far better than had been forecast earlier in the week — that recent rally experience might be incredibly valuable.He is just one of 19 Holden Commodore ZB's lining up on the grid though, alongside nine Ford Mustang GTs.

As an ABC viewer, I think they should take this opportunity to replace holden with EVs driven by women Peoples of colour. Racing needs to be more diverse and inclusive
