Eight drivers scheduled to complete double duties across Super2 and Repco Bathurst 1000
After a successful debut in Tasmania, the Dunlop Super2 Series' first-ever Boost Mobile Top Five Shootout to be held at Bathurst has been officially confirmed to run on the morning of Friday, October 10 at Mount Panorama.
Announced just prior to Round 4 of the season at Ipswich, the release of this year's Repco Bathurst 1000 schedule has confirmed that the top five run-off will take place immediately following Boost Mobile Qualifying for Race 1.
The inaugural Bathurst Super2 Shootout is scheduled to begin at 9:30am on Friday morning, and will be televised live on Fox Sports and Kayo.
The penultimate round of the 2025 Super2 season, the weekend will be headlined by two 40-minute timed races, including the traditional Saturday afternoon curtain-raiser to the Supercars Top Ten Shootout.
Reigning Super2 champion Zach Bates claimed pole in the first-ever Super2 Top Five Shootout at Round 2 in Tasmania.
Eight drivers are scheduled to complete double duties across both the Repco Supercars Championship and the Dunlop Super2 Series at the Repco Bathurst 1000.
Bates will have the honour of being Craig Lowndes' final Triple Eight Supercars co-driver in the #888 wildcard Camaro backed by Supercheap Auto.
Also contesting The Great Race will be Rylan Gray and Lochie Dalton in a Tickford wildcard, Nash Morris (PremiAir Racing), Cameron McLeod (Matt Stone Racing), Brad Vaughan (Brad Jones Racing), Jobe Stewart, and Jarrod Hughes (both Erebus Motorsport).
