As expected, tickets in grandstands are being snapped up quickly for Supercars’ great race, the 2022 Repco Bathurst 1000.
Trackside tickets, Paddock Passes, Priority Parking and Reserved Grandstand seating located along the main straight at the bottom of the mountain and one covered grandstand at the famous first turn are all on sale for the event to be held 6 – 9 October.
Fans will be able to enjoy the full ‘Bathurst Experience’ in 2022, with the return of the pre-event Drivers’ Parade and Autograph Session in Bathurst’s CBD along with a precinct filled with merchandise, team and sponsor displays at Mount Panorama.
Repco Bathurst 1000 Event Manager Ryan Jones said thousands of fans renewed their camping and grandstand spaces for 2022 prior to public on sale.
“It’s pleasing to see so many fans have already locked in their spots on the mountain for this year’s event, which in 2022 returns to its traditional October dates,” Jones said.
“We encourage fans planning on heading out to purchase tickets as soon as possible to ensure they are trackside on October 9 to see this year’s King of the Mountain crowned.”
This year’s Great Race will feature some of the sport’s greatest ever drivers including 2020 winner and defending Supercars Champion Shane van Gisbergen along with reigning Repco Bathurst 1000 Champions Chaz Mostert and Lee Holdsworth, who in 2022 will be racing against each other in a Commodore and Mustang.
Fan favourite Craig Lowndes will create Supercars history, having been confirmed alongside Declan Fraser in a Triple Eight wildcard for October’s race. The seven-time Great Race winner will become the first driver to record 300 ATCC/Supercars round starts.
Bathurst legend Greg Murphy and fellow Kiwi Richie Stanaway will also join this year’s race in a Boost Mobile backed Erebus wildcard, alongside the newly announced Ford Mustang wildcard that will be driven by born and bred Bathurst-local Michael Anderson, a debutant in this year’s race.
Past winners David Reynolds, Will Davison, Mark Winterbottom and Nick Percat will also take to the grid alongside up and coming stars like 2021 podium-winning rookie Brodie Kostecki and Ford’s Cam Waters, who is still chasing his maiden Bathurst victory.
The 2022 Repco Bathurst 1000 is supported by the NSW Government via its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW.
The event will feature a major celebration for naming rights partner Repco, to mark its 100th year of operations in Australia and New Zealand.
