Motorsport Australia acknowledges today’s agreement between the Bathurst Regional Council, Supercars and the Challenge Bathurst promoter, which will allow for a bumper month of motorsport at Mount Panorama later this year.
 
“Throughout 2020 and 2021, we’ve been starved of the opportunities for these major events,” Motorsport Australia CEO Eugene Arocca said.
 
“It’s fair to say that the past year or so has seen many forced calendar changes across all motorsport disciplines, and we are hopeful of a busy end to 2021 across the country. As such, it’s been very important for our event promoters and venues to work together to find suitable outcomes where events may be closer together than ever before.
 
“With the Bathurst 1000 and Challenge Bathurst, all parties have been willing to sit down, together with the Bathurst Regional Council, and engage in meaningful and respectful discussions, with an outcome that is a win for competitors, fans and all stakeholders of these brilliant events.
 
“With Challenge Bathurst, the Bathurst 1000 and the Bathurst International all scheduled for November, it promises to be an outstanding month of motorsport at the Mountain and everyone at Motorsport Australia is eager to play our part in delivering three world-class events.
 
“We are also extremely proud to support the officials who will give up their time to make these events possible and we know they are just as eager to get back to doing what they love at one of the most impressive circuits in world motorsport.”
