The exact prize money for winning the Bathurst 1000 in 2025 is not publicly disclosed. However, it is estimated that the total prize pool for the event could be around AU$2.5 million, though this figure is unconfirmed. Historically, prize money in this race is often distributed based on championship standings rather than solely on the race win itself, and typical direct winnings for the race winner might be below AU$250,000. There are also additional awards such as pole position prizes and other bonuses for the season.
In recent years, prize structures for similar races at Bathurst have included a first-place prize of around AU$100,000 in some categories, but this varies and specifics for 2025 Bathurst 1000 were not detailed publicly. The event's prestige is often reflected more in the trophy and legacy than in large prize money compared to some other sports.
Therefore, while the total prize money on offer at Bathurst 1000 is significant when combined for the event and series, the winner for a single Bathurst 1000 race could expect a prize in the low hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars.
