From the weather to the start time, here is what you need to know ahead of today's Bathurst 1000.
The Bathurst 1000, a prestigious Supercars event, will take place at the renowned Mount Panorama circuit today. The 1,000km endurance race will feature 52 drivers competing in 26 cars. Ahead of the Great Race, here are key details you should know.
ABC Sport will provide live blog coverage of the event, starting at 10am AEDT. This is ideal news for both drivers, teams, and fans alike. The weather forecast predicts a sunny day with a high temperature around 27 degrees Celsius. There is virtually no chance of rain, eliminating the wet weather chaos experienced during the race last year. While this is great for the energy and excitement of the race, it may lack the tension and drama that comes with inclement weather.

The Seven Network is the free-to-air broadcaster, airing the race on Channel 7 or 7plus. Foxtel and its streaming platform Kayo will also broadcast the event.
