Supercars CEO Sean Seamer said race fans would be treated to an “extraordinary” viewing experience with the technology. 

“We are proud to be able to deliver the Bathurst coverage through this innovative partnership with Foxtel to bring the best technology available in the world right now,” he said.

“With the support of Foxtel and FOX SPORTS, we have trialled the cameras at the last two Supercars events and as recently as the Sandown 500 on the weekend. The pictures are extraordinary.

“Supercars is a sport of colour, sound and movement. The cars, the action, the colour and the event will be captured like never before in 4K. We couldn’t be any more excited.”

Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany echoed Mr Seamer’s excitement, saying that the launch of 4K was brought forward by a month to “bring Australians Bathurst like never before”.

“It’s fitting that we will ring in a new era in Australian television with an event as big and iconic as the action at Mount Panorama,” he said.

“In addition, Foxtel subscribers will be able to watch the race ad-break free for the first time with start to finish live and HD coverage on FOX SPORTS 506.”

The 4K technology will be brought to the mountain through the partnership between Supercars, Foxtel and Gearhouse.

In addition to the race coverage, FOX SPORTS 506 will become a dedicated 24-hour channel featuring nothing but Bathurst stories from October 1 to the conclusion of the race event.

Those who don’t have access to Foxtel can see the race on free-to-air television. 

Network Ten will broadcast live from the mountain from October 5 to 7.
