Shane van GisbergenRichie Stanaway won the 2023 Bathurst 1000 in an extremely tense finish following the heartbreak of their Red Bull Ampol Racing team-mate Broc Feeney. Mechanical problems affected all three cars that competed for victory for most of the day; two full-time Triple Eight Racing Engineering Camaros and the #99 Erebus Motorsport Camaro that Brodie Kostecki put on pole. Feeney was running a reasonably comfortable second with 25 laps to go and was still out of luck with win, his gear lever assembly failing after Triple Eight's #888 Supercheap Auto wildcard entry passed the two early in race.

Despite enjoying a 23-second lead with 10 laps to go, it led to a tense result for the Kiwi duo. However, van Gisbergen managed to maintain the #99 Camaro's margin in the final 62.13 km around Mount Panorama. Kostecki also survived and took the checkered flag with a time of 19.9326, breaking the second-place enduro record for both himself and co-driver David Russell.

The opening hours of the race were, as expected, a battle for supremacy between Erebus and Triple Eight, but Triple Eight's No. 88 Camaro was already double-stacked behind.

Triple Eight opted to recall both Stanaway from the lead and Jamie Whincup from third in the No. 88 car, although both had no more than 10 laps remaining in their races.
