Bathurst 6 Hour close to capacity grid

The Bathurst 6 Hour grid is now just five short of its 72-car capacity, with 67 entries for the second running of the Production Car enduro.

Podium: winners Nathan Morcom, Chaz Mostert, second place Michael Sherrin, Iain Sherrin, David Ayres, third place David Wall, John Bowe
Tony Virag, Jeremy Gray, Warren Millett, Holden VE-HSV GTS
Jim Pollicina, Simon Evans, John O'Dowd, Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X RS
Michael Caine, Gerry Murphy, Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X RS

The massive grid features 22 cars in the front-running Extreme Performance/Forced Induction Class A, with a total of 30 cars set to contest outright honours across Classes A and B.

That includes representatives from Mitsubishi, Audi, Ford, Subaru, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Holden, the latest high-profile entries being two Ford Focus RSs, one from defending winners Morcom Motorsport and another from Tony Quinn’s Keltic Racing.

“We have more entry forms in front of us than grid positions so it is up to the next five cars to commit and the grid will be full,” Event Director James O’Brien said.

“We are delighted with the response to this race in just its second year and especially to see new cars being built to tackle the race.

“The chance to field the largest ever field in a major Bathurst enduro and create some history is very appealing and will just add to the storylines around this year’s Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour.”
