DORIC RACING
AT BATHURST Doric has a proud history of success on the Mountain in a variety of classes. Our first win in The Great Race came in 2013, when Mark Winterbottom teamed up with Steven Richards, claiming victory by less than half a second over Jamie Whincup/ Paul Dumbrell following a thrilling late-race battle.
Other notable performances for Doric racers on the Mountain included last year, when Davison teamed with Cam Waters to finish second after Waters earlier claimed the pole position.
The win was the first in the event for Ford Performance Racing, which repeated the effort 12 months later with Chaz Mostert and Paul Morris.
Davison himself topped the 2012 Shootout, leading the field away on race day.
In what has gone down in the books as one of the best Bathurst 1000s of all-time, Mostert and Morris came through from last on the grid, also recovering from an early meeting with the wall at Griffiths Bend and a mid-race red flag. For the first time ever, there was a last lap change of the lead, with Mostert passing Whincup at the start on Conrod Straight, who ran out of fuel. Making it three wins in four years, Will Davison and Jonathon Webb held on in another classic in 2016.
Outside of the main event, Doric has had plenty of success in the supports at Bathurst. Between 2011 and 2018, John Bowe earned seven wins in Touring Car Masters competition aboard Mustang Sally and later his Holden Torana, in total claiming 21 podiums. Bowe is also a two-time winner of the Bathurst 12 Hour, in 2010 and 2014. Elsewhere, James Moffat registered the first podium for Doric on The Mountain when he finished second in the V8 Supercars Development Series race on the Saturday of the 2010 event.
That particular race saw a late-race clash between leaders Whincup, Scott McLaughlin and Garth Tander, with Davison able to pick his way through the mess, and hold off Shane Van Gisbergen in the run to the chequered flag as he also ran out of fuel.
