Australia has won the Bathurst race many times, but the exact answer depends on which Bathurst event you mean. For the Bathurst 1000 , the latest result shows an Australian co-driver won in 2025: Garth Tander of Australia alongside New Zealand’s Matt Payne.

Bathurst 1000

If you mean the Bathurst 1000, Australian drivers have historically been the dominant winners. A Supercars summary says 62 Australian-born drivers have won races in the broader ATCC/Supercars series, with Australians accounting for 831 wins overall.

What that means

That Supercars statistic is for the wider championship, not just Bathurst, so it does not directly equal the number of Australians who have won Bathurst itself. For Bathurst 1000 specifically, the event has had many Australian winners over its long history, including major names like Peter Brock, Craig Lowndes, Mark Skaife, Garth Tander, and others, but a precise count needs a Bathurst-specific winners list.

Most useful answer

So the short answer is: quite a lot, and Australians have won Bathurst the majority of the time , but the exact number depends on whether you mean the Bathurst 1000, Bathurst 12 Hour, or all Bathurst events combined.
