More than half of all co-driving slots have now been filled ahead of October's Repco Bathurst 1000.

Last week, Erebus Motorsport confirmed Jack Perkins and David Russell will pair with Will Brown and Brodie Kostecki respectively.

Chris Pither, who drove for Team Sydney in 2020, will partner Macauley Jones in the #96 Coca-Cola Brad Jones Racing car.

BJR also confirmed on Monday that Dale Wood will share the #8 R&J Batteries car with Nick Percat.

There are eight co-driving slots yet to be confirmed.

It includes the second co-driving seats at Dick Johnson Racing and Kelly Grove Racing, two spots at BJR, and both slots at Matt Stone Racing and Team Sydney.

James Moffat and Thomas Randle will also return to Tickford, with Las Vegas-based Alex Premat set to compete for the team.

Like Premat, Scott McLaughlin is facing a nervous wait amid international COVID-19 travel restrictions come October.

As it stands, the current mandatory quarantine period for international travellers is 14 days.

Cars will hit the track on Friday for opening practice of the Repco Mt Panorama 500. Tickets are on sale now.

This weekend’s event will be broadcast live on Foxtel and the Seven Network, and will be streamed on Kayo. Check out the full TV schedule here.
