And drivers are being encouraged to not drive tired.
Traffic and Highway Patrol Command Regional Superintendent, Paul Glinn, acknowledged Sunday had been a big day at Mount Panorama for spectators and competitors alike and those returning home on Monday needed to consider their trip strategy.
"It has already been a long day and we are concerned about tired drivers making the trip home," he said.
"Highway patrol officers will be maintaining a visible presence on roads in and around the Bathurst region to ensure everyone can make it home safely.
"History has proven that, it is a Bathurst race weekend, there is always a chance of rain and, if the weather does change, remember to slow down and drive to the conditions."
Almost 400 people have had legal action taken against them for travelling above the speed limit and 23 people have been issued infringements for seat belt offences since the commencement of Operation Bathurst 1000.
The operation ran across the four days of the Bathurst 1000 (Thursday, October 10, to Sunday, October 13), making sure race enthusiasts enjoyed the event safely.
However, even with the extra police presence across the Central West and Blue Mountains region, some drivers hadn't listen to the warnings.
About 10.40pm on Saturday, October 12, unaccompanied learner driver was detected travelling at 93 kilometre per hour in a 60 kilometre per hour zone on the Great Western Highway at Faulconbridge.
The vehicle was not displaying learners plates and the driver was also using a mobile device while driving. The driver was issued infringement notices for exceeding the speed limit by more than 30 kilometre per hour, being an unaccompanied learner and not displaying learner plates.
On Friday, a man was detected travelling at 46km/h above the speed limit.
