THE SCHEDULE for the 2024 Repco Bathurst 12 Hour has been set, with four days of on-track action and off-track events locked in at Mount Panorama this February 15-18.

The 12-Hour event kicks off the broader Bathurst SuperFest this February.

An iconic part of the Repco 12 Hour weekend, Track to Town returns on Thursday, February 15 and will officially commence the fortnight of on and off-track activities.

The full 12-Hour field will travel in convoy from Mount Panorama to Russell Street in the Bathurst CBD.

Fans will have the opportunity to meet with their favourite local and international drivers, including the great Valentino Rossi, Chaz Mostert, Craig Lowndes, Paul Tracy, Cam Waters, Broc Feeney, Will Brown, Thomas Randle, Jamie Whincup and many more from around the globe who will be descending on the mountain for one of the world’s most anticipated endurance races of 2024.

Cars will park in the Bathurst CBD before a signing session with all Repco Bathurst 12 Hour drivers takes place until 1:00pm.

The 12-Hour on-track program includes support events from the Duggan Family Hotels Combined Sedans and Group S Historic Sports Cars categories as well as key on-track demonstration sessions that are always a highlight.

Announced this week, the iconic Ford SuperVan will take to Mount Panorama on Friday and Saturday with Sports Car legend Roman Dumas behind the wheel. Other exciting on-track demonstrations are to be announced.

The battle for victory in Australia’s International Enduro kicks off on Friday with four, 40-mintue practice sessions, including two dedicated sessions for Bronze-ranked drivers.

Saturday will see a pair of one-hour practice sessions set the tone before the field rolls out for qualifying at 12:40pm local time.

The two sessions will then determine grid positions 11 onwards, with the 10 quickest cars then progressing to the battle for the iconic Allan Simonsen Pole Award later that afternoon.

An all-driver autograph session will also be a highlight of Saturday’s program, commencing at 3:00pm local time behind the team garages in the paddock area – which has free access for all ticketholders.

The race itself kicks off at the now traditional 5:45am on Sunday morning, with the iconic first stanza of the race to be run in the early dawn prior to the 6:39am sunrise.

Full broadcast details and timings will be announced in due course.

Tickets and camping remain on-sale for Australia’s International Enduro with tickets available from Ticketek.

Both the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour and Thrifty Bathurst 500 are proudly supported by the NSW Government via its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW. Live coverage of the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour and Thrifty Bathurst 500 will be found on the Seven and Foxtel family of networks.
