Traditional Bathurst 12 Hour date returns in 2023
Key stakeholders have locked in the Bathurst 12 Hour for a February return in 2023.
It was confirmed Friday that the 2023 edition of the event will be held on February 2023.
It will be the first 12 Hour in February since the most recent edition in 2020.
The 2021 edition was cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with the 2022 event pushed to May.
It comes as organisers confirmed a revised class structure for the 2022 LIQUI MOLY Bathurst 12 Hour.
"I’m happy to see the race returning to its traditional early February date in 2023," SRO Motorsports Group Founder and CEO Stephane Ratel said.
"Our only other option this year would have been to cancel the event, which neither SRO nor Supercars were willing to do.
"Equally, staging it in May isn’t compatible with European programmes.
"We’ve found a smart solution for this year but are also looking forward to seeing Bathurst fully living up to its status as Australia’s International Enduro next season."
Bathurst 12 Hour Motorsport Operations Manager Paul Martin added: "We’re thrilled to be able to confirm the dates for next year’s event.
"This allows all international and domestic competitors to circle the date in their calendar and begin planning for their 2023 trip to Mount Panorama."
Tickets for the 2022 event are on sale now.
