The Spider-Man That Conquered the Mountain: Back-to-Back Bathurst Glory
October 10, 2004. Mount Panorama. The Bob Jane T-Marts 1000.
Greg Murphy and Rick Kelly weren't supposed to dominate. Starting fourth on the grid in the #15 Kmart Racing Holden VY Commodore, sporting an eye-catching Spider-Man livery that had fans buzzing before the green flag, they faced stiff competition from the Ford Performance Racing squad and the ever-dangerous Holden Racing Team.
But domination is what they delivered.
Murphy even stumbled at the start, falling from fourth to tenth on the opening lap. Then the Kmart Commodore clawed its way forward and never looked back. They controlled the race, leading 100 of 161 laps, the red-and-blue livery a blur through the mountain's treacherous corners. The marketing stunt had become a racing masterpiece.
Behind them, chaos unfolded. Jim Richards, seven-time Bathurst winner and pole sitter, collided with a kangaroo on lap 112 at an estimated 190 km/h, ending his challenge. Nine-time champion Peter Brock, in what would prove to be his final Bathurst appearance before his tragic 2006 passing, never even got a turn at the wheel. Co-driver Jason Plato crashed out early. The stage was set for Murphy and Kelly to cruise home.
They crossed the finish line 9.57 seconds clear of Craig Lowndes and Glenn Seton's Ford Performance Racing Falcon, with John Bowe and Brad Jones rounding out the podium in the Brad Jones Racing Falcon. It was Murphy's fourth Bathurst victory (1996, 1999, 2003, 2004), putting him equal with Allan Moffat and Mark Skaife, and cementing his legacy as one of the greatest Kiwi drivers to ever tame the mountain.
But the real story? Rick Kelly. Still just 21, he'd become the youngest winner in Bathurst history the year before, and now he was the youngest multiple winner the race had ever seen. This wasn't just another win. It was a statement. The kid from Mildura had arrived, and he'd done it alongside one of New Zealand's racing icons.
For Murphy, this was his second consecutive Bathurst triumph, joining an elite group of back-to-back winners. For Holden, it was the sixth straight victory in the Great Race (1999-2004), a new record streak, with no manufacturer having claimed more in succession.
And for Kmart? Their Spider-Man gimmick had become legendary. The car with webs and a superhero on its flank had conquered Australia's toughest circuit.
