THERE is a Bathurst blast from the past this weekend with the return of Bob Jane T-Marts branding.

The tyre company has track signage on Conrod Straight for the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour.

It’s the first time Bob Jane T-Marts has been sighted at the Mountain in more than two decades, since being the naming rights backer of the Bathurst 1000 in 2002-04.

That was succeeded by Supercheap Auto, which underpinned the next 16 editions of the Great Race before Repco came to the fore starting 2021.

BJTM rival Tyrepower has had a stranglehold on the Bathurst 1000 as the official tyre retailer of Supercars.

Qualifying for the 6 Hour starts 1:45pm AEDT today.
