The upcoming 6 Hour will be the fifth running of the event in its current format, and the first under the new ownership of the Australian Racing Group, in conjunction with the Bathurst Regional Council.

A new list of vehicles are eligible for the 2020 edition of the race, including the likes of the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and the emerging Kia Stinger.

The full eligibility list of over 130 vehicles is available on the Bathurst 6 Hour website.

Incentives for early bird registrations are currently in place, with entry discounts available to competitors until November 29.

After a proven debut in 2019, MRF Tyres will again be the control tyre supplier for the event.

The Bathurst 6 Hour race will be held over Easter weekend on April 10-12.
