THE rapid growth of the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour Production Car endurance race will be reflected in a significantly enhanced broadcast package this Easter.

The race will be shown live on FOX Sports on Easter Sunday (April 1) with the live coverage commencing at 11:15am (local time) and continuing throughout the race until after its conclusion.

The addition of national TV coverage on FOX Sports is a major step forward for the Event despite only entering its third year in 2018.

THE FIRST all-international team to enter the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour will tackle the race this Easter.

RHC Lawrence-Strom, in partnership with MARC Cars Australia, will enter a BMW 1M in the race with drivers Darren Jorgensen, Brett Strom and Cameron Lawrence.

The trio made their Bathurst debut in February’s Bathurst 12 Hour, driving a BMW M4 GT4 to fourth in class – a car that Jorgensen and Lawrence will again drive in the pair of one-hour Production Sports Car support races that also feature on the B6HR program.

Boss Surveillance C63 owners/drivers Karl Begg and Justin Anthony may be running a naturally-aspirated Mercedes C63 AMG in the upcoming Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour, but say their vehicle is capable of taking the fight right up to the turbo cars.

Experienced race-car hire and motorsport services operation RaceAway Track Time has announced a double-pronged attack on this year’s Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour, running two Toyota 86s in Class D.

Last year, the Phil Alexander-owned operation campaigned a single entry for the father-and-son team of Graeme and Josh Heath; this year, they will also provide technical services for the Reynolds Auctions Toyota 86, to be driven by Gavan Reynolds, Chris Manning and Declan Fraser.

A healthy field and a trophy commemorating the efforts of a long-time Formula Ford supporter have been finalised for the Factory Enterprises Historic Formula Ford races at the famous Mount Panorama circuit at the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour, 30 March-1 April.
 
The 32 participants in the weekend’s three races will compete for the inaugural Margaret Hardy Perpetual Trophy, created to celebrate the selfless dedication to Formula Ford from former national series category manager Margaret Hardy over many years.
