Sixty-car Bathurst entry list revealed

A bumper 60-car entry list for next year's Bathurst 12 Hour has been revealed, including 30 GT3 cars.

The Class A field includes 10 Audi R8s, with a number of local entries as well as an overseas car from WRT. Bentley has entered two Continental GT3s through M-Sport, while there will be three Lamborghinis – two Gallardos and a Hurracan.

There are three BMW M6s on the entry list, although it's expected that there will only be a single Team SRM entry and a Schnitzer car from Germany. There are three McLarens, a single Ferrari, and six Mercedes from the likes of Scott Taylor Motorsport and the newly-confirmed Strakka Racing attack.

There will also be three Porsche 911 GT3 Rs, including a factory-backed entry from Manthey Motorsport.

The entry list features five Carrera Cup cars in Class B, and an impressive turnout of 13 GT4 cars.

“We are very pleased with the entry list and the depth of competition in every class,” Event Director John Casey said.

“The spread between outright and BRM Chronographes Pro/Am contenders in Class A is pleasing and will see fantastic competition for both trophies within the GT3 class.

“Meanwhile the growth in the GT4 class mirrors the evolution of the category on a global stage. That class will be a serious highlight next February with each brand having several potential winners.

“Entries remain open for a day and we are expecting a few high-profile additions to the current list before the final grid is settled.

“Fans looking to attend should book their tickets now to make sure they don’t miss what will be a remarkable field tackling the Mountain next February.”
