Among the items up for auction are experiences and pieces of memorabilia related to Bathurst.

Bids for this item have already exceeded $2500 and are nearing $3000.
Also up for auction is the race suit, gloves and boots that Craig Lowndes will wear for the 2018 Bathurst 1000, donated by Triple Eight Race Engineering.
Bidding on this item has surpassed $6500 so far.
Other items going to auction include, but are not limited to, a signed Scott McLaughlin driving shoe from his final year with Garry Rogers Motorsport, the genuine bonnet from the Russell Ingall 2005 Championship Winning BA Ford Falcon and two business class return flights to Los Angeles or Hong Kong.
All of the proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners, which supplies hay and fuels the trucks to transport hay to farmers across the country.
The auction will end on Friday, October 5, during the Bathurst 1000 event, culminating in a live auction on track.
People can place bids online or can attend the auction on the day and make a bid in person.
