Australian Racing Group (ARG) and Bathurst Regional Council (BRC) today jointly announce that the Supercheap Auto Bathurst International will be held for the third and final time in 2024.
The decision to end the Bathurst International event format after 2024 acknowledges the increasing challenges of attracting high level international motorsport content to the event on an ongoing basis.
The 2024 running of the Supercheap Auto Bathurst International will run as scheduled from November 8-10 as the grand finale of the Shannons SpeedSeries.
The vision for the Supercheap Auto Bathurst International to bring global touring car racing to Mount Panorama was realised in 2023, when the world’s leading TCR teams descended on Bathurst in an official round of the Kumho TCR World Tour.
The 2024 event was again intended – and initially announced and ratified by the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) – to be a round of the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour. Earlier this year, the series advised of its withdrawal from Australia due to logistical constraints.
ARG remains in partnership with BRC as promoter of the ever-growing Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour event.
Supercheap Auto remains committed to the TCR Australia Series as the category’s title rights partner through to at least 2025, and will maintain its enduring relationship with the Bathurst region through a range of community-focused initiatives and passionate support of teams and drivers racing at Mount Panorama.
Tickets for the Supercheap Auto Bathurst International will be on sale on soon, with a variety of packages once again offering the unrivalled combination of professional motorsport action at Mount Panorama, free paddock and grid walk access and affordable ticket prices.
High quality motorsport categories with connectivity to international motorsport – specifically the Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series, Trico Trans Am Series, Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS, Monochrome GT4 Australia and First Focus Radical Cup Australia – will feature at the 2024 event, along with Meguiar’s Australian Production Cars and the Precision National Sports Sedan Series.
