An historic Walkinshaw Andretti United Holden Commodore Supercar has landed in Bathurst at the National Motor Racing Museum.

Chassis WR 025 has been delivered to the museum, located near Murray's Corner at Mount Panorama.

The Commodore was one of two final Holden Supercars raced by WAU in the championship, before the team switched to Ford to commence the Gen3 era.

WR 025 was built for star recruit Chaz Mostert in 2020, with the driver racing the car to a first-up podium at the Adelaide 500. Mostert and Warren Luff shared the car at the 2020 Bathurst 1000, finishing third.

Bryce Fullwood shifted into WR 025 before Nick Percat took over for the 2022 season.

Percat famously helped Mostert complete a one-two finish for WAU in the team's final event as a Holden team at the 2022 Adelaide 500.

WR 025 then landed in the hands of current WAU main game driver Ryan Wood, who raced the car in Super2 in 2023. Wood won five races and three rounds before stepping up to Supercars in 2024.

The car has since been restored to its 2022 Adelaide colours, which is an homage to the 1990 Bathurst-winning Holden Racing Team livery.

"Our newest arrival today at the National Motor Racing Museum is Nick Percat’s 2022 ZB Commodore Supercar, in the special livery worn at the Adelaide 500, marking the end of the Holden brand in Supercars," a National Motor Racing Museum post reads.

"Percat would score a memorable 2nd place behind team mate Chaz Mostert in the Saturday race, in the evocative Holden Racing Team colours."

Fans can see WR 025 at the National Motor Racing Museum throughout this weekend's Bathurst 6 Hour.
