All camp sites are booked, including the additional 100 that were added to the Harness Racing Motorhome Park this year.
Bathurst 1000 flags and signs have been put up around Bathurst, camp sites at Tent City are ready, and the city is braced for an influx of motorsport fans.
We expect that there will be a fantastic crowd at Bathurst.
- Supercars spokesperson
This year’s event will also mark 10 years since racing legend Peter Brock was killed in an accident while taking part in the Targa West rally in Western Australia.
A Supercars spokesperson said he expects large crowds will attend the race to celebrate the King of the Mountain during this year’s Bathurst 1000.
“We expect that there will be a fantastic crowd at Bathurst, and who knows, we could have a larger crowd than the record set in 2012, the 50th year of the Great Race,” the spokesperson said.
