There's plenty of reasons to be excited about this year's edition of the Great Race.
For the first time since the championship has adopted the V8 Supercars tag we have five manufacturers competing to be first over the line, with Volvo joining last year's new Mercedes-Benz and Nissan entries.
Volvo have entered the fray with rising talent Scott McLaughlin and international driver Robert Dahlgren out to cause a shake-up to the Holden-Ford winning run that goes back to 1998 - the last time Volvo found success at Bathurst.
Red Bull Racing drivers Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes go into the race as numbers one and two in the championship, and will be the team to beat this Sunday.
Leading the chase against the front runners will be last year's Bathurst winner Mark Winterbottom from Ford Performance Racing, eager to turn around his fortunes after some disappointing past few rounds.
Then there threat of Shane van Gisbergen who has put in consistent finishes all year, while Holden Racing Team's Garth Tander aims for win number four while team mate James Courtney chases his first Bathurst success.
It feels like almost anyone is a great chance of standing atop the podium on Sunday afternoon.
Once again there's an exciting range of liveries on show for the fans to celebrate the history of Mount Panorama and to top it all off we're expecting some fine weather.
