What it takes to conquer the Bathurst 12 Hour… and how an Aussie can claim it
The iconic Mount Panorama will host Australia’s international endurance race this weekend when the lights go out on the prestigious Bathurst 12 Hour.
Twice as long as the renowned Bathurst 1000 and open to cars and drivers from around the world, the half-day race is the de facto season opener for Australian motorsport in 2026, and this year’s edition promises to be the biggest in years.
The grid features some of the biggest names from domestic, regional and international racing. Among them are championship winners in a variety of categories, including on two wheels and four, all seeking to conquer the mountain.

What Supercars is testing at Bathurst 12 Hour
The category has a Triple Eight Ford Mustang, Team 18 Chevrolet Camaro and Walkinshaw TWG Toyota Supra at Mount Panorama and four 30-minute slots in which to run them across Friday and Saturday.
While there’s been much focus on new player Toyota, Supercars’ data gathering is also about ensuring there’s straight line parity between the Mustang and Camaro.
Straight line speed was the big talking point at last year’s Great Race – in particular the ability for Camaro runners to tow up on Mustangs on Conrod in the race.
There was heated debate over whether that was due to engine – and the impact of barometric pressure at Bathurst – or aerodynamic factors.
