The event also will see a national champion crowned as the Fair Dinkum Builds Australian Saloon Car Nationals are staged across the weekend, pitting six-cylinder Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon racers from across Australia in their one and only major national event of the year.
The field – which includes a remarkable 21-strong contingent making the trek across Australia from the West – includes Super2 race winner and Supercars codriver Brad Vaughan among the key contenders this weekend.
The popular Circuit Excel class has again drawn a stacked grid of the nationally popular one-make racers, their field featuring drivers from every state of Australia.
Super TT’s Bathurst debut comes with a massive grid that includes everything from TCR cars – headlined by TCR Australia frontrunners Brad and William Harris – and everything from Mazda MX5s, Falcons and Commodores, Mini’s, Nissan’s, BMWs and more.
