Supercars veteran Dave Reynolds is determined to avenge his heartbreaking loss at the Bathurst 1000 last year and claim a second win at Mount Panorama.
Reynolds started from pole and was streaking towards back-to-back Bathurst titles but with the finish line in sight, his body failed him as he succumbed to debilitating cramp.
The 34-year-old returns in 2019 as a man on a mission, determined to rise up and conquer the famous mountain in what he predicts will be the best race of his life.
Reynolds said his preparation would be second to none this year as the Holden driver chases a second Bathurst crown in three years.
