2023 Bathurst 1000 – Start time, how to watch, channel & more
The Bathurst 1000, one of Australia’s most prestigious motorsport events, is set to kick off over the next four days with a field consisting of 28 cars. In addition to the 25 regular teams, wildcard entries from Triple Eight, Dick Johnson Racing, and the Blanchard Racing Team will also be competing. The Triple Eight and Erebus Camaros are expected to be the frontrunners based on their strong performance at the previous race in Sandown, where they dominated the field. However, series leader Brodie Kostecki and co-driver David Russell are also likely to be strong contenders. Another driver to watch is Shane van Gisbergen, who will be aiming for his third Bathurst win before transitioning to NASCAR in the United States next year. The competitiveness of the Ford teams is uncertain due to ongoing debates surrounding the performance parity of the Mustang. Practice sessions will be held over three days, with qualifying split into traditional sessions and the famous Top 10 Shootout. The Bathurst 1000 will be broadcast live on Fox Sports and the Seven Network in Australia, with international viewers able to watch via Supercars’ SuperView service.
