At 31, Waters isn’t running out of time to win Bathurst. But to many, it’s taken longer than expected to get the breakthrough. This year, he makes his 13th Bathurst start. Remarkably, only eight drivers — Paul Morris (22 starts), Luke Youlden (18), Lee Holdsworth (18), Paul Dumbrell (14), Shane van Gisbergen (14), John Harvey (14), and John French (14) — had to wait longer for their first Bathurst wins.
