The latest addition to the Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour has been announced, with the Formula 1 team Oracle Red Bull Racing to be part of the February event.

The team’s Championship winning RB7 will hit the track throughout the weekend in what will be a fascinating addition to the bumper weekend schedule.

The 2011 specification model will be on show both on track and off track, promising fans the best opportunity to see the car up close and hear it tackle the iconic Mount Panorama.

The team and cars will be accessible to the public via their location in the Bathurst 12 Hour paddock, which is free to access for all ticketholders at the event.

The driver of the car for the weekend is yet to be announced, with more details expected in the new year.

Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour Event Director Shane Rudzis said it was a thrill to have the current Manufacturer Champion in Australia for the February event.

“Oracle Red Bull Racing are the current Formula 1 World Champions, so just to have them at the event is a privilege, but to know that the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 car will be lapping Mount Panorama will be something else,” Rudzis said.

“This will be a spectacle like nothing we’ve seen at the 12 Hour before and takes the event to an entirely new level.  

“This will be the best opportunity in 2023 for Australian F1 fans to get up close and personal with F1 machinery and an even rarer opportunity to see a Formula 1 car lap Mount Panorama.”  

The Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour takes place at Mount Panorama on 3-5 February.
