Pole-sitters and reigning champions David Reynolds and Luke Youlden have given themselves every chance of ending two long streaks in Sunday's Bathurst 1000.
They can be the first team to go back-to-back on Mount Panorama since Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup's stunning three-peat from 2006 to 2008.
And they can snap a nine-year wait for a shootout winner to back up in the 1000km race.
Not since 2009, when Garth Tander set the fastest Saturday time in his VE Commodore before backing it up on race day with Will Davison, has a pole-sitter won the Great Race.
