DJR's 2026 Bathurst 1000 Victory Celebrated With Three Limited Edition Collectors Prints

Authentic Collectables are proud to announce three officially licensed, limited edition collectors prints celebrating Shell V-Power Racing Team’s unforgettable victory at the 2026 Repco Bathurst 1000, available to pre-order from 10am AWST Thursday 22 October.

Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood’s extraordinary last-lap triumph in the iconic #17 Ford Mustang GT delivered Dick Johnson Racing its fifth Bathurst 1000 victory, adding another remarkable chapter to the team’s history. From the dramatic recovery drive following a costly pit stop to the emotional scenes in the DJR garage as Kostecki crossed the finish line, it was a victory that will live long in the memories of Australian motorsport fans.

To commemorate this historic achievement, we’re excited to reveal three exclusive collectors prints, each celebrating the victory and the enduring legacy of Dick Johnson Racing in a unique way.

17x05: DJR Win Bathurst 1000 Number 05 is an impressive large-format collectors print celebrating all five of Dick Johnson Racing’s Bathurst 1000 victories across five decades. Measuring 1000mm wide, this special release brings together the team’s remarkable history, from its breakthrough victory in 1981 through to the unforgettable triumph of 2026.

Limited to just 517 individually numbered copies, each print will be personally signed by Dick Johnson AM and 2026 Bathurst winners Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood, making this a particularly significant piece of memorabilia for passionate DJR supporters.
