Matt Payne: Kiwi motorsport driver on his Bathurst 1000 win

Matt Payne has become King of the Mountain in a wet weather shemozzle at the Bathurst 1000.  He has joined the high-octane New Zealand pantheon of Jim and Steven Richards, Greg Murphy, Shane van Gisbergen and Scott McLaughlin.  The 23-year-old and his co-driver Garth Tander climbed from 18th to take the title in minimal visibility, sneaking into the lead for the first time when James Golding and Cooper Murray collided with a couple of laps remaining.  Golding crossed the line first but was handed a five-second penalty for the incident.  Payne told Mike Hosking being in the cockpit was pretty hard work.  “There was a couple of times where, where all I was thinking was just actually trying to stay on the road.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
