Record entries locked in for Bathurst 6 Hour

A record number of entries has been locked in for the 2023 Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour.

The entry list for the Easter production car endurance event features 66 cars after 85 entries were submitted to organisers.

As it stands, that figure is two more than the current record of 64, which was achieved at the 2017 edition of the event, which was won by Paul Morris and Luke Searle in a BMW M135i.

It means that should all 66 entrants take to the track, the 2023 event is set to host a record field.

This year’s grid consists of 14 different brands and more than 25 models across nine classes.

Class X predominantly features BMWs, with 11 on the grid joined by a solitary Holden Special Vehicles VF GTS.

The most populated category in the race is Class A by 27 entries, split between forced induction and normally aspirated cars from brands such as Mitsubishi, Mercedes, Subaru and Audi.

Class B features seven entries consisting of four BMWs, two Holdens and a Subaru, while Class C has attracted 11 entries spread across brands such as HSV, Mazda, Mini, Renault and Volkswagen.

Class D features BMW, Honda, Mazda, Subaru and Toyota, while Class E consists of two Mazda entries.

Last year’s event, which was spectacularly won by Cameron Hill and Thomas Sargent in a last-to-first drive, featured 63 entrants.

Hill will this year be racing in the Repco Supercars Championship with Matt Stone Racing, while Sargent is now in the United States where he will drive for McElrea Racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America Series.

The driver roster for this year’s Bathurst 6 Hour will be revealed in due course.
