WELCOME FROM THE BATHURST REGIONAL COUNCIL

The Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour is back in 2026 with a packed field of entries, after 2025 setting the record for the largest field to ever start a Bathurst enduro.

And what an event it was with Bathurst’s own Dean Campbell and co-driver Cameron Crick powering to a win from the back of the field.  A win after starting at 66th was a remarkable victory to watch unfold. 

No doubt we will be treated to another enthralling instalment of racing at the event which has established itself in the motor racing calendar at Mount Panorama.

As visiting teams, support crews and families enjoy the fast-paced action of the Mount Panorama circuit, we love to watch as Bathurst subsequently becomes home to a vibrant, enthused audience of visitors, affirming our regional city as a must-visit destination in NSW.

I’d like to welcome all those who have travelled to Bathurst to watch this prestigious event. Do ensure you take the time to explore the region and make the most of your stay in our city. Bathurst boasts a rich history, picturesque landscapes, and a warm community spirit, I’m confident that you will find something special here. Enjoy the race and your stay in the wonderful Bathurst Region.

Mayor of Bathurst

WELCOME FROM HI-TEC OILS

It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the 2026 Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour. Since 2016, Hi-Tec Oils has been sponsoring the Bathurst 6 Hour, however its origins reach much further back. The first ever motor racing meeting was held here over Easter in 1938.

The Bathurst 6 Hour brings together teams spread across an array of classes, makes and models. If you are motorsport enthusiast like me, you know it’s the best endurance race in the Aussie calendar. Hi-Tec Oils is proud to be associated with the event.

Hi-Tec Oils has had a long association with motorsport and has been involved with sponsoring all levels, from community go-karts through to V8 supercars. We are currently the naming right sponsors with Drifting Australia Allstars as well as the exciting new Hi-Tec Oils Super Series, a national level motor racing series that caters for motor racing categories from all over Australia.

Motor sponsorship aligns very much with the Hi-Tec Oil business. We’re a family run, Australian owned business that manufactures automotive oils, greases, batteries, filters and even windscreen wipers. Our products are Engineered to Perform. I hope you enjoy a fun, safe and successful Bathurst 6 hour. I look forward to seeing you around the track!
