BATHURST’S BIGGEST ENDURO

Hello and welcome to the 2023 Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour.

This year we’ve been using the tagline ‘Bathurst’s Biggest Enduro’ and it seems appropriate – every year this race seems to grow in interest and takes the overall event along with it.

With 60 cars in the big race and more than 100 in the support categories, there really will be something for everyone as we build up to the Easter Sunday moment that is the start of the big race itself.

This year’s race is shaping up as one of the most competitive we’ve ever had, with the dominant BMWs set to be under pressure from the very strong Ford Mustangs, in particular.

And then you’ve got guys like Will Davison, Anton de Pasquale and Marcos Ambrose racing against people who have dreamed just to get on track at

Mount Panorama – let alone race their racing idols.

That’s what makes the six-hour so good, there’s stories everywhere you look.

This year we have worked closely with our partners at the Bathurst Regional Council to further enhance and improve the event for patrons, competitors and partners and make it the best Easter yet.

The back of the pit lane garages are always a highlight and this year there’ll be more to see and do with a real festival vibe.

The support program will be exciting, with the opening round of Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS launching their new national championship this weekend, and continuing the always thrilling story of GT racing on the Mountain.

There’s also something new with the debut of GT4 cars running as their own headline act, plus the big fields of Excels and the Pulsar Cup.

On behalf of the team at ARG, our thanks to go the Council for their ongoing support and our great partners at Hi-Tec Oils, who have backed this event since it began in 2016 and continue to do so today.

Enjoy the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour – Bathurst’s biggest enduro!
