He's desperate to get back his No.1 plate as the V8 Supercar champion but Jamie Whincup says that won't stop him risking it all if he's got a chance of Bathurst glory this Sunday.
The Holden star enters this weekend's endurance event with a narrow 92-point lead over team-mate Craig Lowndes in the championship standings.
But although he has stated many times how much he wants to regain the title he had to relinquish to James Courtney last year, Whincup won't hold back in his quest for a fourth Bathurst crown.
"It's a real tough one because it's still the biggest race of the year, it's still the one that everyone wants to win," Whincup told AAP.
"Although we plan it, I can see myself getting in the last stint and if I've got a sniff of a win then I'm just going to go all out.
