While there will be lots to keep track of in the 6 Hour itself, the support bill will undoubtedly pique the interest of many motorsport fans around the country.

Forming part of the jam-packed array of support categories are HQ Holdens, Hyundai Excels and Nissan Pulsars, Improved Production, the Australian Formula Ford Series and the brand-new Supermini Challenge.
 
Starting off with the new series, a field of 23 Mini Coopers and Mini Challenge cars will grace the iconic circuit for the first time in its short history, with Bathurst 1000 wildcard racer, Zane Goddard headlining the entry list. 
 
The popular Australian Formula Ford Series will be kicking off its 2024 campaign at the mountain on the weekend, and it has 20 cars confirmed to take part in the first of its seven-round season. 
 
The Excels will also be using the weekend to open a unique competition, with Bathurst to serve as the first stop of a three-event CERA Dunlop Destiny Series, which is giving young rising stars a national platform to showcase their talents.
 
Boating one of the largest grids of the event is the Revolution Racegear Improved Production, which will have a diverse field of 55 cars contesting the round, including Improved Production stars Adam Poole and Luke Grech-Cumbo.
 
Rounding out the support categories are the HQ Holdens and Nissan Pulsars – both of which always provide entertaining racing at grassroots level.
