A quick reminder that the Bathurst 12 Hour is being held this weekend. We’ll be taking a very low key approach to coverage this year due to a number of reasons. However, you will still be well served because all 12 hours of the race will be shown on free-to-air television.
Coverage will start bright and early on Sunday morning on 7mate before switching across to Channel 7 for the final three hours of the race. That’s actually pretty cool. And remember, we don’t want any of you to spend a single second watching the V8 Supercars practice session; join the AUSmotive boycott and #SayNoToV8SC!
If you’re a social media butterfly then you have heaps of options to cover the event. Photographer Joel Strickland has compiled a thoroughly excellent and comprehensive guide to following the #B12hr on social media.
Finally, the ever reliable, enthusiastic and near iconic Radio Le Mans crew are at the mountain to provide commentary to the world as well. So you’ve got no excuse for not knowing what the hell is going on this weekend.
All the best to the competitors and crew we hope you have an awesome weekend and that the TV coverage rates its arse off!

Oh, as it turns out, one of the reasons coverage from Am will be poor this weekend is that I will be in Bathurst. Might check out the car race, haha. I’m just going as a mug punter and look forward to enjoying the show.
Seeing the GT cars fly through McPhillamy is a sight worth reliving!
And I look forward to providing Am transport services in the morning.
Another hashtag we can use is #GGFV8SC
Not great to watch. To much safety car.
What an epic finish! Great stuff 🙂
