Cameron Crick and Dean Campbell claimed victory at the 2025 Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour from the 66th on the grid, the lowest starting position win in Bathurst’s endurance race history.
The 2025 edition also broke the event attendance record, with 20,471 people watching the action from the grandstands – which is 2,000 more spectators than the previous record.
The weekend involved the largest starting grid at Mount Panorama, with 69 cars lined up for a rolling start after a late withdrawal from #111 BMW due to electrical issues.
More event records would fall, with 50 teams finishing the race and 21 changes for the lead across the six hours of competition. The battle for the lead went down to the wire, with Simon Hodges, Jayden Ojeda and George Miedecke finishing runners up by just 0.8287s – setting yet another Bathurst 6 Hour record.
Although missing out on a three-peat, the trio became the second team in race history to score three consecutive Bathurst 6 Hour podiums.
Crick and Campbell’s winning performance was nothing short of amazing, with Crick also setting the fastest lap of the race on the final lap – 2:21.8817.
Despite starting the day from a lowly 66th, Crick charged through the field on the opening lap to 32nd.
After the first safety car period was triggered due to Ian Joyce’s incident at Hell Corner on lap three, Crick’s performance strengthened to pilot the BMW to 10th by lap eight, and fourth by lap 11.
Taking home third place were the #30 Ford Mustang trio of Aaron Seton, Todd Hazelwood and Jason Gomersall, becoming the first non-BMW to appear on the outright podium since 2019.
Gomersall and Seton repeated their 2024 A2 victory this year, sharing the win with Bathurst 1000 winner, Todd Hazelwood. It’s the fifth straight win for the Ford Mustang in class.
For half of the endurance race, Ben Kavich, Michael Kavich and Thomas Randle maintained the lead in their BMW M2 Comp.
However the race saw a sequence of safety cars, challenging the Kavich brothers and Randle to protect their position. The bold Thryv Race For A Cure car ultimately finished the Bathurst 6 Hour in 29th place.
Karly Buccini and Courtney Prince also defended their Class B1 crown, with Tabitha Ambrose standing on the Bathurst podium for the first time with Team Buccini’s BMW 340i.
All other classes saw first-time winners, including Patrick Navin and Nathan Halsted who claimed Class C aboard their VW Scirocco R.
In Class A1, the Waltec Motorsport BMW M2 claimed victory with Cameron Laws, Cody Gillis and Jack Webster behind the wheel, while B2 saw the #6 Quest Apartments BMW steered by Brent Howard, Adam Gosling and Tim Wolfe claim victory for the first time.
Class D went to Toyota for the sixth consecutive year with The Racing Academy’s Isaac Demellweek and Romeo Nasr taking the win by a lap after a hard battle.
In Class E, RaceAway Track Time claimed the win with Ronin Lindenmayer, Kym DeBritt and Phil Alexander taking the victory.
The Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour returns to Mount Panorama in 2026 on April 3-5.
