The Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour Entry List is now complete, promising one of the most comprehensive and competitive fields in the event’s history.

Event organisers confirmed the final pieces in the entry list puzzle have fallen into place, bringing the total field size to 35 cars, who will contest the race this year across Pro, Pro-Am, Silver, Bronze, GT4 and Invitational categories.

The drivers list consists of 115 drivers representing 22 nationalities and includes nine former winners for a total of 15 Bathurst 12 Hour victories.

This includes 2025 winner Augusto Farfus and Kelvin van der Linde, and at least one winner from each of the last six races.

Twelve brands – 10 of them competing in GT3 – are represented, with Ford and Chevrolet making their respective debuts in the outright category this year and McLaren returning to GT3 competition for the first time since 2020.

Former Allan Simonsen Pole Award winners returning this year include Supercars Champion Chaz Mostert, Raffaele Marciello, 2025 Motorsport Australia Gold Star recipient Matt Campbell, Lucas Auer and Maro Engel.

MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi returns for his third attempt, while the Quinn Family will make Bathurst history as Grandfather Tony, sons Kent and Klark and grandson Ryder all compete together in an Audi R8.

The field includes more than a quarter of the current Supercars grid, including current champion Mostert and seven of the 10 drivers that contested the Supercars Championship Finals Series last year. Others are Will Brown, Broc Feeney, Kai Allen, Cameron Waters, Ryan Wood and Thomas Randle.

Global GT representatives this year include the 2025 Intercontinental GT Challenge champion, Kelvin van der Linde, plus the top seven finishing drivers from the only global GT3 championship.

2025 24 Hours of Spa Francorchamps winner Jordan Pepper makes his return, having last raced in 2020 when he was part of the winning Bentley combination, while 2025 24 Hours of Nürburgring winners; Augusto Farfus, Raffaele Marciello and van der Linde represent as the most recent winners of the German classic.

Two-time 12-Hour champion and 2025 IMSA Sports Car Championship GTP Champion, Matt Campbell is back in his quest for a third win, while fellow 2025 IMSA title winners Alex Sims (GTD Pro) and Philip Ellis (GTD) fly the flag for the US-based Sports Car series.

Local champion Brad Schumacher will also seek outright victory at Bathurst to go with his GT World Challenge Australia title claimed in dramatic fashion last year.

The Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour commences at 5:45am AEDT on Sunday, 8 February.
