Podium at Bathurst for Carl Cox Motorsport!
What a way to finish the Supercars series as the Carl Cox Motorsport supported Tickford Racing Team come home in second place!
After 6 hours and 10 minutes of relentless Supercars racing, Cameron Waters and Will Davison (No. 6 Monster Energy Ford Mustang) finished a narrow second place at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. Having started from pole, the Monster Energy Racing duo were genuinely in the battle for the win throughout Sunday’s 161-lap race, and after multiple late-race restarts came up 0.86s from victory at Mount Panorama. Despite coming heartbreakingly close to winning Australia’s Great Race, Waters climbed to second in the Supercars drivers’ championship, his highest ever result in the championship.
Cameron Waters: “I gave it absolutely everything I could, they just did a little bit better job than us. Those Safety Cars were probably just another chance for me to try and get in front somehow, the first one (Shane van Gisbergen) was probably a bit vulnerable at (Turn) 1 and 2, and over the top I was close enough to, I thought, maybe have a lunge, but (I was) just not quite there. And then the next one I thought I might as well try and push him the whole way until he goes, which it kind of half worked, but he just put his car in the right spots which made it bloody hard.
Hats off to their team, they drove awesome all day, they deserve the win. They didn’t put a foot wrong and they had a fast car.”
