Get involved in Race Week

The Repco Bathurst 1000 off track events program has been re-imagined for 2024 and there’s plenty of opportunities for the community to get involved. 

General Manager David Sherley said race week will kick off with a street party on Wednesday 9 October with an evening event rather than the traditional morning transporter and driver parade.   

“The street party will bring the 26 car Supercar field from Mount Panorama to Kings Parade and Foxtel will bring a live TV broadcast to the centre of the city as part of the party. 

“The Pirtek Pit Stop Challenge finals, the Jaycar esky races and the driver signing session will be feature events giving race fans a chance to share in the excitement marking the start of the Repco Bathurst 1000. 

“The popular Legends dinner is on again on Thursday evening and then on Friday there will be live music and entertainment in Kings Parade between 4pm and 9pm.  

“The program gives both visitors and local residents a chance to soak up the atmosphere of the races and get involved in a range of activities off-track. 

“We are looking for local businesses to take part in the window display competition and for local food vendors and market stall holders to sign up and take part in Music in the Parade on Friday 11 October. 

“For our younger race fans there’s also the colouring in competition,” Mr Sherley said. 

More information on off track events program and how to get involved is available on Council’s website.
