BATHURST will be home to a double dose of circuit racing in October 2027.
SRO Motorsports Australia has unveiled its provisional calendars for next year featuring a Mount Panorama event on October 29-31.
That will come in addition to the Mountain’s current set of four permanent annual fixtures, being the 1000, the 12 Hour, the 6 Hour and Challenge Bathurst.
There hasn’t been a fifth Mount Panorama motorsport event since the demise of the Bathurst International.

A base five-round Shannons SpeedSeries calendar will take in Phillip Island, The Bend, Sydney Motorsport Park, Queensland Raceway and Mount Panorama, with both GT World Challenge and GT4 Australia to appear in each instance.
GT4 Australia’s sixth event will be a season-opening appearance on the Bathurst 12 Hour undercard, while GT World Challenge Australia will add to the other end of the year with a to-be-confirmed finale.
SRO Motorsports Australia chief Ben McMellan described the new Bathurst event, where GT4 will run its first enduro since 2024, as a “fantastic outcome”.
“Every driver in the country looks forward to racing at Mount Panorama,” he noted.
