Foxtel, Kayo, Sky NZ to broadcast all four days live from Mount Panorama
Seven to show free-to-air coverage from Friday to Sunday
Championship leader Matt Payne defending Bathurst winner
The Great Race has arrived, with the Supercars circus descending upon Mount Panorama for the 2026 Repco Bathurst 1000.
Off the back of one of the most extraordinary Bathursts ever staged last year, the 2026 event shapes as one of the most open, and hardest to pick, in recent memory.
Toyota enters Bathurst off the back of an extraordinary enduro debut at The Bend, securing a 1-3 finish with Chaz Mostert/Fabian Coulthard and Ryan Wood/Jaxon Evans. Mostert/Coulthard lead the Ryco Enduro Cup.
There will be plenty of Supercars action over the course of the week, with a whopping 10 official sessions from Thursday to Sunday. See the full track schedule here.
Championship leader Matt Payne is the reigning Bathurst champion, winning the 2025 epic alongside the now retired Garth Tander. Will Davison — who won his first Bathurst alongside Tander in 2009 — will drive with Payne.
