This year’s event, which concludes the 2026 Ryco Enduro Cup, is also set to honour the life and legacy of Peter Brock, marking 20 years since the passing of the nine-time winner forever known as the 'King of the Mountain'.
Returning to Mount Panorama from October 8-11, this year’s Great Race will place Brock’s immense contribution to Bathurst and Australian motorsport at the centre of a program of tributes across the circuit and CBD.
For more than six decades, Bathurst has occupied a unique place in Australian sport, attracting generations of fans to Mount Panorama and creating household names whose achievements have become part of the nation’s sporting folklore.
Brock’s record nine Bathurst 1000 victories helped build the mythology of Mount Panorama and inspired generations of drivers and fans. This year’s event will celebrate that legacy through numerous displays and activities, ensuring Brock remains front and centre throughout race week.
A dedicated ‘Brock Experience’ and associated activations are planned to transform sections of Bathurst into an immersive celebration of the motorsport icon.
Attractions include ‘Peter’s Pit Lane’ – which adjoins the National Motor Racing Museum and will feature a line-up of original race cars that Brock drove, and displays of historic vision of his most heroic moments.
In addition, ‘Brocky’s Helmet’, a large-scale dome structure where fans can interact further and celebrate milestones from Brock’s career, will feature in Church Street, Bathurst.
See below for more information on each activation and operating hours.
