Running from November 10-12 at Mount Panorama, the Bathurst International will act as the eighth round of nine in the 2023 TCR World Tour.
It will also be the seventh and final round of the 2023 TCR Australia Touring Car Series.
But there are also other categories over the three days that fans can enjoy, as well a number of off-track events, where you can even meet some of the drivers that will be racing.
