    The Bathurst 12 Hour's wildest crashes

    The talent assembled includes defending Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour winners Matt Campbell and Ayhancan Guven, who return in a bid to go back-to-back.

    Six former 12 Hour winners are entered, catering for 12 wins in Australia’s International Enduro, while seven former Allan Simonsen Pole Award winners are also on the list.

    Current GT World Challenge Australia champion Chaz Mostert leads the list of global GT3 winners from 2024 entered this year.

    That list includes the current Intercontinental GT Challenge drivers champion from 2024 Charles Weerts, current champions from both the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint and Endurance titles and the 2024 IMSA GTD Pro champion.

    LM GT3 winners at the 2024 Le Mans 24 Hour race Yasser Shahin and Morris Schuring add to the roster of current GT aces entered.

    Seven GT3 Manufacturers are represented, the most represented since 2020. Ferrari and Aston Martin return alongside Audi, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG and Lamborghini. With the Method Motorsport McLaren GT4 cars and KTM X-Bow in the Invitational class, nine brands will compete in total this year.

    Two-car West Australian-based team Arise Racing GT make their Bathurst 12 Hour debut this year, while Chinese-based Absolute Racing return to the Mountain flying the flag for Porsche for their first start since 2020 – when they scored pole position.

    Tickets and corporate experiences are on sale while an extremely limited number of campsite bookings remain available.

    “Amidst a congested global calendar, we have maintained the same number of GT3 entries as last year while adding two returning manufacturers to broaden the variety within the field," Event Director Shane Rudzis said.

    “The depth of the field and the talent within is outstanding and there’s no doubt it’s going to provide another spectacular race.

    “Interest for the race is high with a record number of campgrounds set to be filled, the grandstand is sold out and ticket sales are really motoring along, which is hugely exciting for all involved.

    "We're working closely with our partners at the Bathurst Regional Council and with the team at Meguiar's to make this the best Bathurst 12 Hour yet.

    “The eyes of the world will be on Mount Panorama, Bathurst next week as we launch into another chapter of Australia’s International Enduro.”

    The 2025 Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour will be contested across January 31 – February 2 with tickets, camping and corporate experiences on sale now via the official event website, www.bathurst12hour.com.au.
