A total of 7,000 campsites at Mount Panorama are now spoken for five months out from the Great Race.<\/p>\n

According to Supercars, a record 90 percent of campsites had already been renewed by existing campers ahead of this morning\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

Supercars chairman and interim CEO Barclay Nettlefold hailed the result ahead of the October 8-11 Great Race.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a tremendous result for this year\u2019s Repco Bathurst 1000,\u201d Nettlefold said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a record renewal period we knew the demand would be high, and our fans responded with the fastest uptake of campsites we have ever had.<\/p>\n

\u201cCamping at the Bathurst 1000 is an experience unlike any other, and we cannot wait to welcome tens of thousands of campers back to the Mountain in October this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supercars is encouraging those who missed out to monitor its Bathurst camping page<\/a> for information on potential re-sell opportunities.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Bathurst 1000 is set to feature a special tribute to Peter Brock<\/a>, marking 20 years since the legend\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Great Race attracted a four-day crowd of 198,203 \u2013 an uplift of 4,984 on 2024.<\/p>\n

The all-time record remains the 2012 event, which drew 207,205 amid celebrations marking the 50th year of the event being held at Mount Panorama.<\/p>\n
