Two Champions, One Storm, 2.3 Seconds

Rain. Hail. Blinding sunshine. The 2001 V8 Supercar 1000 threw everything Mount Panorama had at the field - and very nearly crowned the biggest upset in Great Race history.

The contenders fell like dominoes. Rookie Marcos Ambrose, fastest qualifier on debut, watched his Stone Brothers Falcon expire. Steven Johnson and Paul Radisich's Shell Falcon blew while running second. Glenn Seton's decade-long quest for Bathurst glory faded on lap 127 when co-driver Steven Richards tagged the concrete - from the lead, no less - leaving them to trail home ninth. Through the wreckage emerged a duel nobody predicted: Mark Skaife's all-conquering #1 Holden Racing Team Commodore against Brad Jones and John Cleland - a pair of 250/1 outsiders in the OzEmail Falcon who had started 21st and simply refused to fade.

For the final 30 laps, Skaife drove a near-flawless race as Jones's bandit Falcon filled his mirrors. When the flag fell after 6 hours, 50 minutes and 33 seconds, the margin was 2.3 seconds.

The win was HRT's first at Bathurst since 1996, and Holden's third straight in what became a record streak of seven (1999–2005). For Skaife, it ended a nine-year wait - his earlier wins (1991, 1992) had come in the notorious Nissan Skyline, and this was his first Great Race crown for Holden. For Tony Longhurst - himself a Bathurst winner back in 1988 - it was proof the old guard could still deliver on the biggest stage.

And the car? HRT chassis 045, a Commodore VX that backed up with another Bathurst win in 2002 and two V8 Supercar titles, earning the nickname "The Golden Child" - the most successful chassis in HRT history.
