Bathurst Light Car Club

The Bathurst Light Car Club was formed in 1953. The objectives were simply to run events where people with a fascination for cars could compete against themselves and each other to improve their driving skills. All Club events are conducted under the auspices of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS). The club holds a general meeting on the last Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm in their clubrooms at the top of Conrod Straight. Visitors and new members are welcome.

Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000

The Virgin Australia Supercars Championship (formally Australian Touring Car Championship) is the premier motorsport category in Australasia and one of Australia’s biggest sports. Globally, it is recognised as the best touring car category in the world and a leader in motorsport entertainment. From 1960 to 1968 the Australian Touring Car Championship was decided by a single race, but since 1969 it has been determined by a series, consisting of 16 events across the country with a visit to New Zealand in 2018.  Its title changed from the traditional ‘Australia Touring Car Championship’ to the ‘Shell Championship Series’ in 1999, then the ‘V8 Supercars Championship Series’ in 2003. A simplified ‘V8 Supercars Championship’ adopted in 2011 was followed by the ‘Virgin Australia Supercars Championship’ with 2016’s naming-rights partnership with Virgin Australia. From 1995 to 2012 it was solely the domain of the legendary Holden vs Ford battle. A milestone 2013 was the first year of the Car of the Future (COTF) platform. These cars are lighter, more economical, have increased agility and are more competitive than their predecessors, and create better racing. That has opened up the Ford vs Holden battleground to other manufacturers, with Nissan also active in the championship with its Altima, while the new Gen2 regulations offer further scope. For 2020, the series returns to the classic Blue Oval against Red Lion rivalry; more manufacturers are expected to join when the newest wave of regulations come into play as part of the upcoming Gen3 era. Supercars delivers exhilarating and accessible motorsports-led entertainment to engaged and passionate fans, creating a proud and aligned set of partners, race teams and employees.
