04 Feb 2023
A who's who will tackle this weekend's 12 Hour

A who's who of Supercars talent will tackle this weekend's LIQUI MOLY Bathurst 12 Hour.

A total of 16 drivers who raced in last year's Repco Bathurst 1000 will race at Mount Panorama on Sunday.

There are six full-time Supercars drivers on the grid, with another 10 having been co-drivers last year.

Since the event switched to the current GT3 format in 2011, a Supercar driver has been in the outright winning entry in three of the 11 years.

Can another Supercars driver add their name to the decorated list of 12 Hour winners?

Supercars.com runs you through who's driving what among the Supercars grid this weekend.
