2026 Repco Bathurst 1000 pays tribute to Peter Brock
‘Brocky’s Helmet’ and Peter’s Pit Lane’ to headline ‘Brock Experience’
Activations in Bathurst CBD and at National Motor Racing Museum
The legacy of nine-time Bathurst 1000 winner Peter Brock will be celebrated like never before at the 2026 Repco Bathurst 1000, with a series of fan activations, exhibitions and entertainment experiences marking the 20th anniversary of the legend’s passing.
Headlined by The Brock Experience, the tribute will feature two major attractions, Brocky's Helmet and Peter's Pit Lane, delivering an immersive journey through the life and career of one of Australian motorsport's most revered figures.
The Brock Experience will transform locations across Bathurst into destinations for fans, visitors and the local community, celebrating the enduring impact of Brock's contribution to Australian motorsport.
Brocky's Helmet
Proudly funded by the NSW Government's Open Streets Program, led by Transport for NSW, one of the most visually striking attractions of the 2026 Repco Bathurst 1000 will be Brocky's Helmet, a specially designed domed structure inspired by Peter Brock's iconic racing helmet.
Located on Church Street in the heart of the Bathurst CBD, the free fan experience will become a must-visit destination throughout race week. Brocky's Helmet will be open 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. AEDT across October 5-12, with extended hours on Wednesday, October 7.
Inside the immersive installation, fans will find Brock’s 1993 Mobil 1 Holden VP Commodore and his own HDT Holden VL Director road car, offering the public a rare opportunity to step inside a tribute dedicated to the man affectionately known as "The King of the Mountain".
Supercars received $333,333 through the NSW Government's Open Streets Program to support delivery of the Brock Experience.
Minister for Transport, Minister for Arts, Minister for Music and the Night-Time Economy, John Graham said: “The Bathurst 1000 is one of Australia’s most iconic sporting events, and very deserving of its Hallmark Event status.
“The Minns Labor Government is excited to be supporting the Brock Experience on the streets of Bathurst, allowing even more people to experience the excitement and the history of the Bathurst 1000.”
Peter's Pit Lane
Located at the National Motor Racing Museum, outside the final corner of Mount Panorama Circuit, Peter's Pit Lane will showcase an even larger collection of iconic Brock vehicles spanning the many eras of Brock's extraordinary career, including:
1969 Holden HT Monaro 350 (Brock's first Bathurst race car)
1972 Holden Dealer Team Holden LJ Torana GTR XU-1 (Brock's first Bathurst victory)
Holden Dealer Team Holden Torana A9X Hatchback (1978 ATCC winner)
1986 HDT Holden VK Commodore (driven by Brock and Allan Moffat)
1987 HDT Holden VL Commodore (Brock's ninth Bathurst victory)
1991 Bathurst Holden VN Commodore Group A (Brock's famous qualifying lap)
1997 HRT Holden VS Commodore (driven by Brock and Mark Skaife)
2004 Bathurst Holden VY Commodore (Brock's final Bathurst, driven with Jason Plato)
Described as "the story of Peter Brock, told through the cars he drove," the exhibition will take fans on a journey from Brock's earliest successes through to his greatest Bathurst triumphs.
Peter's Pit Lane will be open from 9:00am to 5:00pm across all event days of the Repco Bathurst 1000 (October 8-11). Access to Peter's Pit Lane is complimentary with a valid Repco Bathurst 1000 ticket.
Fittingly, the iconic collection will also take on a series of tribute laps across the weekend, providing fans the unforgettable sight of some of Brock’s most famous race cars lapping the Mountain together.
David Bromley collaboration
Joining the historic machines and displays will be a contemporary collection of artwork, created by renowned artist David Bromley, depicting some of Brock’s key historical moments and race cars.
The exclusive works can be viewed as part of the Peter’s Pit Lane display, showcasing a unique artistic interpretation of Brock's life, legacy and impact.
Following the event, original artwork will be auctioned for charity, while high-quality printed reproductions will also be available for purchase, allowing fans to take home their own piece of this unique commemorative collection.
Paying tribute to the Great Race’s winningest icon, The Brock Experience will form a key feature of the motor race that stops the nation, the 2026 Repco Bathurst 1000, which takes place October 8-11.
Tickets, camping and hospitality packages for the 2026 Great Race are available via Supercars.com.
The Repco Bathurst 1000 is supported proudly by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
