Bathurst 12 Hour tickets go on sale as event returns to traditional dates

The last edition of the GT endurance race had to be held in May, 2022 after COVID-19 forced it to be postponed.

In 2023, though, the event will be held from February 3 to 5, in line with its usual place on the calendar.

Importantly, organisers are expecting the field to feature international cars and drivers again, and more fans to cheer them on.
