The annual end-of-season awards will feature throughout this year’s Repco Bathurst 1000 broadcast.
With COVID restrictions for indoor gatherings still in place in New South Wales, there will be no standalone gala night this year.

The headline award is the coveted Barry Sheene Medal, which is awarded to Supercars' ‘best and fairest’ driver.

Fans at the Mount Panorama circuit will see all award presentations on the big-screen production.
The Mike Kable Young Gun award will be presented along with fan-voted awards consisting of the Most Popular Driver, Best Presented Team, and Best Event.
The driver-voted ‘Driver’s Driver’ award will also be awarded during the five-day broadcast.
The Supercars Media Award and the Best Volunteer Group will also return after a one-year absence.
