In a significant first for the Mt Panorama circuit, WPS Racing V8 Supercar driver Max Wilson ran a Champ Car across the hallowed bitumen of Bathurst s famous circuit.

Emblazoned in Team Australia colours, the high powered open wheel machine proved a major crowd pleaser on an action packed day of activity.

Event Grand Marshall and inaugural Bathurst endurance race winner Bob Jane was a popular fixture among race fans as he happily signed autographs alongside some of the modern stars of circuit racing.

But there was also a more serious side to proceedings as all support classes wrapped up their involvement in the WPS Bathurst International Motor Festival.

Racing at Mt Panorama brings out the best in drivers and that was definitely the case in the pocket-rocket Aussie Racing Cars as they continued to entertain.

Without doubt the Bathurst stage belonged to Paul Morris as he drove to victory in Race 3 on his way to his first round-victory in the competitive category.

Morris started from the front rwo and tussled race-long with a freight train of opponents including Brad and James Ward, Neil Crompton, Phil Ward, Paul Kemal and Ben McCashney.

A last lap battle saw Morris slip-stream his way to the front down Conrod Straight and he then proceeded to fend off a challenge from Kemal and the Ward brothers at the final turn to claim the win.

In Commodore Cup Marcus Zukanovic maintained consistency to nail down another chequered flag finish before being pipped at the post in the final race by Geoff Emery.

It was all Bryce Washington in Australian GT Championship as he collected the spoils in each of the two races contested, while David Wall and Allan Simonsen were in sync on the podium during the 12-lap features.

Historics wrapped up a superb support program with Darren Pearce dominating. Grant Wilson, Cameron Worner, Jervis Ward and Dennis Wall all collected minor placings across two races
