BATHURST / SYDNEY — The famous Mount Panorama circuit has lived up to its reputation as one of the most dangerous tracks in the world. In a sickening incident during the final stages of the 2026 Bathurst 6 Hour, Australian television icon Grant Denyer was rushed to the hospital following a high-speed, three-car pile-up that has left fans in shock.
While the “Dhurandhar” of Australian TV is known for his speed, this time the mountain bit back.

1. The “Griffins Bend” Disaster
The accident occurred nearly four hours into the race. Denyer, driving his Class A2 Chevrolet Camaro, was attempting an aggressive overtake.
- The Collision: As Denyer tried to pass Richard Barram’s Volkswagen Scirocco at Griffins Bend, the two made contact.
- The Chain Reaction: The nudge sent Barram’s car careening into a stationary Mazda (driven by Matt Kiss) that was already stranded on the outside of the track.
- The Impact: Denyer’s Camaro slammed into the concrete barricade, ripping away the front-left tyre and leaving the vehicle a total wreck.
2. The Injury Update: “Shoulder Concern”
Emergency crews were on the scene within seconds to extract the drivers from the twisted metal.
- Grant Denyer: The 48-year-old star was transported to Bathurst Hospital. He is currently in a stable condition but is being treated for a significant shoulder injury.
- Richard Barram: The other driver involved was taken to Orange Hospital with suspected ankle and rib injuries.
- The Survivor: Matt Kiss, whose stationary car was the first point of impact, miraculously walked away without serious injury.
3. The Controversy: The Yellow Flag Mystery
The racing community is already debating the cause of the crash.
- The Rule: The section of the track where the crash happened was under “Double Waved Yellow Flags” because of the already stranded Mazda.
- The Question: Under yellow flags, drivers are supposed to slow down and not overtake. Critics and racing stewards are now investigating why Denyer was attempting a high-speed pass in a restricted zone.
