Need a racing fix during the festive season?

Supercars' extensive TV library is at your fingertips, bringing you nearly two decades of racing to enjoy all over again.

SuperArchive features classic races in full, from the championship's formative days in 1997 through to 2014.

You can watch the extensive SuperArchive library any time on-demand on the Supercars official YouTube channel.

To help fill the racing void during the Christmas break, Supercars.com has listed five classic Bathurst 1000 races to watch on SuperArchive.

2010 Gold Coast Race 20

The streets of Surfers Paradise invited international imports to add to the action in 2010.

The 102-lap epic had it all, with nearly a third of the 29-car field failing to make the distance, including Saturday winner Garth Tander.

The race heated up when Shane van Gisbergen edged towards a maiden victory with an ultra-aggressive drive.

Van Gisbergen applied heavy pressure to leader Jamie Whincup with a handful of laps to go.

The young Kiwi pushed Whincup all the way to the finish, and the end margin was less than a second.

2001 Adelaide Race 3

The second round of the season and Craig Lowndes’ first year in a Ford after a controversial move from the Lion.

After winning with HRT in the previous season, the 1999 champion proved why he is one of the best drivers to ever grace the Supercars championship.

Lowndes qualified eighth for the first of two 250-kilometre races of the Clipsal 500 for Gibson Motorsport Ford AU Falcon.

The rest is a masterclass.

2003 Bathurst 1000

It was the race that saw drivers become legends.

Saturday’s action at Mount Panorama saw Greg Murphy record his historic Lap of the Gods, with the Kiwi clocking the fastest lap in the circuit's history to take pole position.

Murphy combined with young gun Rick Kelly in the K-Mart Racing Team Holden Commodore to win the Great Race. It was Murphy's third win, and Kelly's first.

It was a new record for Holden, which clinched its fifth consecutive Bathurst 1000 victory.

At just 20 years old, Kelly became the youngest driver in history to win the Bathurst 1000.

You can watch the SuperArchive extensive library anytime on-demand on the Supercars official YouTube channel.

The 2023 Repco Supercars Championship will commence in Newcastle next March.

Tickets are on sale on Supercars.com and Ticketek.com.
