Background

Event history

The event will be the 67th running of the Bathurst 1000, which was first held at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in 1960 as a 500-mile race for Australian-made standard production sedans, and marked the 64th time that the race was held at Mount Panorama. It will be the 28th running of the "Australia 1000" race, which was first held after the organisational split between the Australian Racing Drivers Club and V8 Supercars Australia that saw two "Bathurst 1000" races contested in both 1997 and 1998.

Shane van Gisbergen and Richie Stanaway are the defending race winners, but will not compete together. Van Gisbergen has moved to the United States to race in NASCAR, while Stanaway moved to Grove Racing. [1] [2]

Entry list

So far, twenty-six cars are expected to enter the event - 16 Chevrolet Camaros and 10 Ford Mustangs. In addition to the twenty-four regular-season entries, two "wildcard" entrants are expected to join the field - one from Triple Eight Race Engineering, and the other from Super2 team Matt Chahda Motorsport making their second appearance after 2022. [3]

So far, main-gamer Ryan Wood and Super2 Series drivers Aaron Cameron, Cameron Crick (son of four-time Bathurst 1000 starter Rodney Crick), Cameron McLeod (grandson of 1987 race winner Peter McLeod), Cooper Murray and 2022 Super3 Series Champion Bradley Vaughan will make their debut in the Bathurst 1000.
