Behind-the-scenes at Bathurst launch

Bathurst heroes old and new gathered in Sydney today to begin the countdown to the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 on October 10-13.

As rain lashed the Harbour City, Fox Sports launched its comprehensive Bathurst coverage schedule that once again features a dedicated channel.

Craig Lowndes was at the centre of proceedings as he prepares to balance co-driving with television duties, on the 25th anniversary of his Great Race debut.
