Bathurst Bites Brown in Sunday Downpour

Will Brown and co-driver Scott Pye have finished P17 at the 2025 Bathurst 1000 after a difficult qualifying session and a rain induced crash towards the end of the race.

Race 27 - P17

"Today, Scott did an amazing job. The car was super fast, I got in, we drove up to second after Scott had already got us up well inside the top ten. That's the best car I've ever had around here in the dry, I really felt like we had a shot at winning it today if it'd stayed dry," Brown said.

Unfortunately, changing weather conditions disrupted the team’s momentum. Rain introduced challenging track conditions, and Brown made a few mistakes that ultimately cost them a strong finish. He ended the race just a few laps down.

"Unfortunately the rain came, and threw all sorts of different conditions at us, and I made a few mistakes which put us out of the race unfortunately. I ended up finishing just a few laps down. 

“So really sorry to my team, everyone did a fantastic job and it's tough to let everyone down, but we'll bounce back for Gold Coast for sure. I've got to wait another year to try and tame this place."

Despite the setback, Brown and the Red Bull Ampol Racing team remain focused on the remainder of the 2025 Supercars Championship, looking to continue their strong form in upcoming rounds.
