How Repco is Bringin' the Bathurst in 2024

Repco will be Bringin’ the Bathurst again in 2024, with a range of new initiatives and events across the week of the Great Race.

Many of the fan favourites, including The Repco Trackside Store, Mountainside Store and the Repco Garage, are back, but there’s so much more that will be on offer … and it’s all for the fans.

FAN EVENT: Race Track Car Wash presented by Repco and PIRTEK

Before the cars hit the track on Thursday, Repco’s presence will be felt in Bathurst with a special fan event at the Race Track Car Wash presented by Repco and PIRTEK, with a free BBQ and pizza available to fans.

The event will take place at Repco Bathurst (128 Durham St, Bathurst) on Tuesday at 5.15pm and will feature the drivers from the Shell V-Power Racing Team and other Supercars teams.

The Repco Fleet will also be on hand, with a DJ, food for all and plenty of prizes on offer, including 30 General Admission tickets to the Bathurst 1000, Pizza Hut vouchers, $200 Coles gift cards and fuel vouchers. Plus, thanks to PIRTEK, a once in a lifetime opportunity to be in PIRTEK Victory Lane to watch all the action from under the podium after The Great Race on Sunday.

FAN EVENT: Nulon and Repco Ultimate Motorsport Trivia Night

The fun continues on Tuesday evening with the Nulon and Repco Ultimate Motorsport Trivia Night at the George Hotel.

TRADIE Beer Racing drivers David Reynolds and Warren Luff will host the Trivia Night which is free for all fans. You can reserve your place now by emailing [email protected]

Reynolds and Luff will head to The George Hotel from 5pm to 8pm for an evening of entertainment, with more than $4000 worth of giveaways on offer to attendees.

The feature of the night will be a 21-question trivia session focusing on Bathurst and motorsport moments.

Up for grabs will include 10x double passes to the Bathurst 1000, a stack of Nulon merchandise and TRADIE Beer Racing merch signed by Reynolds himself.

FAN EVENT: Repco Bathurst 1000 Street Party

On Wednesday, the build-up to The Great Race continues with the Repco Bathurst 1000 Street Party. The Repco stage, located on Church Street, will feature a special guest pianist and Bathurst legend Greg Murphy, as well as the chance to win more General Admission tickets and meat trays.

CAMPING FUN: Meat Tray Raffles

Thursday sees all focus centred at the famous Mount Panorama. It’s the first of the on-track days, and like years gone by, the meat tray raffles and parties return with visits to campsites at both the top and bottom of the Mountain. The meat tray raffles will be held on Thursday (top of mountain), Friday (paddock camping area) and Saturday (top of the mountain).

HARRIS PARK, TRACKSIDE STORE and MOUNTAINSIDE STORE

Back in Harris Park, the Repco Trackside Store will also feature driver signing sessions inside the store from Thursday to Saturday, plus your chance to get up close to the Peter Brock Trophy.

While fans on top of the mountain will have the chance to meet and greet Supercars legend Greg Murphy, 4WD 24/7 stars Shaun and Jocko will also be making a number of appearances.

Stay tuned to Repco Australia’s social media pages daily for a schedule of events so you don’t miss a thing.

Harris Park will again come alive with its traditional sea of colour that fills the merchandise and fan areas, headlined by the Repco Trackside Store and the Repco Garage.

The Garage will include its famous pedal-powered Slot Cars, games and fun for the whole family, including the Repco Pit Stop Challenge where you put yourself in a real-life Supercars pit stop scenario.

REPCO RIDER

The Repco Rider is back, giving fans a free ride from behind the pits, through the camping grounds and up to The Chase. Save your legs and catch the Repco Rider – it's the best way to travel, and it's free!

MERCHANDISE

The Trackside Store will feature many new initiatives, including Custom Apparel where fans will be able to personalise their own merchandise.

There will be eight unique graphics available to apply to your choice of size and colour garment. To get your custom apparel, purchase a tee or hoodie from our Repco Trackside store, choose your custom heat press graphic for $5 and our crew will apply it to your garment and have you walking out looking race-ready.

Also in the Trackside Store will be a special diecast model car section. Diecast Distributors Australia has released a new range of Classic Bathurst Race Cars in its 1:64 scale Oz Wheels Collection.

The Oz Wheels feature the one-two winning XC Falcon Hardtops from 1977, the winning 1990 Holden Racing Team Commodore, as well as the 1974-winning Falcon XA GT of Kevin Bartlett and John Goss.

There will also be four of Peter Brock’s race-winning Toranas in 1:24 scale, including the LC, LJ and A9Xs. All the 1:24 have light up head and tail lights as well as engine bay detailing.

Also, look out for a range of new, fun novelty and collectable keepsakes from this year’s race.

It all makes for a huge week of festivities at Mount Panorama for The Great Race – the 2024 Repco Bathurst 1000. Tickets for the event are on sale now.
