Where fans can meet their favourite driver in Bathurst

Fans will have plenty of opportunities to meet with their favourite Repco Supercars Championship drivers in Bathurst.

The full ‘Bathurst Experience’ makes its comeback this October, with the return of the pre-event Drivers’ Parade and Autograph Session.

The parade and dual signing sessions will be held in Bathurst’s CBD, just four days out from the Great Race.

Trackside tickets, Paddock Passes, Priority Parking and Reserved Grandstand seating located along the main straight at the bottom of the mountain and one covered grandstand at the famous first turn one are on sale now.

The Driver’s Parade will follow the iconic Supercars Transporter Parade through the centre of Bathurst’s CBD on Wednesday October 5.

Gigantic B-Doubles and driver's cars will depart Carrington Park at 11:30am local time on Wednesday morning.

This year, event flags will be provided to the schools on the route, allowing local students to participate in the unique event.  

Afterward, drivers will be on hand to meet and greet fans in the centre of Bathurst throughout the afternoon. 

Two separate signing sessions will take place at Kings Park Parade on Russell Street, the first beginning at 12:15pm on Wednesday October 5.

All signing sessions will feature Repco Supercars Championship drivers along with Bathurst 1000 co-drivers.

The first signing session will feature Shell V-Power Racing duo Anton De Pasquale and Will Davison, along with Red Bull Ampol Racing teammates Shane van Gisbergen and Broc Feeney.

The second signing session will kick off at 1:15pm, with Triple Eight Race Engineering wildcard drivers Craig Lowndes and Declan Fraser along with Erebus Motorsport wildcard entries Greg Murphy and Richie Stanaway.

The annual prevent transporter and driver parade has become a tradition at the Bathurst 1000 event each year, attracting thousands of fans along the route and to the centre of town to meet the cars and stars of the race.
