Live Pit Lane: How teams line up for 2025 Repco Bathurst 1000
Top five teams unchanged after AirTouch 500 at The Bend
Team 18, Matt Stone Racing jump Brad Jones Racing's lead team
PremiAir Racing falls behind Erebus Motorsport
As expected, there was plenty of change to the Supercars drivers' standings at the AirTouch 500 at The Bend, with three more Finals spots secured.
However, there was also movement in the teams' championship, setting a new-look pit lane order for the biggest race of the year, the Repco Bathurst 1000.
Sunday at The Bend was a big day for Ford, with Mustangs from Dick Johnson Racing, Tickford Racing and Grove Racing sweeping the podium.
It was one to forget for a number of Chevrolet squads, though, headlined by Triple Eight Race Engineering's disastrous run for the pole-sitting Broc Feeney/Jamie Whincup car.
A rotten day for Brad Jones Racing dropped the Albury squad behind Camaro rivals Team 18 and Matt Stone Racing, who both moved up one spot at BJR's expense.
An impressive run for Erebus Motorsport's rookie pairing of Cooper Murray/Jobe Stewart helped the reigning champion Bathurst team jump PremiAir Racing, who had a shocker.

Triple Eight will again occupy the first two garages for the Great Race, followed by Mustangs from Tickford, Grove, Walkinshaw Andretti United and DJR.
Tickford Racing is just 67 points behind Penrite Racing, with the margin slashed from 150 to 67 points. WAU, meanwhile, is 158 points behind Penrite Racing.
After a strong 500, with Nick Percat/Tim Slade a brilliant fifth, MSR is seventh and just 47 points behind Team 18. With Triple Eight off to Ford in 2026, it could be the fight to be highest ranked Chevrolet team for Round 1 next year.
There will be an additional three pit garage allocations for wildcards for Bathurst, with Triple Eight (Craig Lowndes/Bates) and Matt Stone Racing (Cameron Crick/Aaron Seton) to share a pit boom for their Camaros.
Tickford's wildcard for Super2 young guns Lochie Dalton and Rylan Gray will have their own dedicated pit boom at the back of pit lane.
The 2025 Repco Supercars Championship continues at the Repco Bathurst 1000 on October 9-12, and will conclude the Ryco Enduro Cup. Tickets are on sale now.
