Supercars has confirmed the 2025 Repco Bathurst 1000 will commence at 11:45am AEDT on Sunday October 12.
The track schedule for this year's Great Race weekend has been released, headlined by a new start time for the Sunday classic.
This year's Repco Bathurst 1000 is Race 27 of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship, and the second of two races in the prestigious Ryco Enduro Cup.
The Bathurst 1000 does not have a time certain cut-off, meaning it can run into the evening. Daylight Savings in New South Wales will commence the weekend before the race. Sunset is at 7:12pm local time, with last light at 7:37pm.
The 2025 Repco Bathurst 1000 is the first Great Race to start at 11:45am, and is starting 15 minutes later than last year's race.
