The 60th anniversary of the Great Race will be streamed like all other rounds on Kayo Sports featuring all practice, qualifying and the 161 laps of the Repco Bathurst 1000 live in high definition.
Just like at Newcastle, Darwin and Townsville, the Seven Network will feature live coverage, which will continue at the two remaining rounds on the Gold Coast and Adelaide.

Regular commentators Neil Crompton and Mark Skaife will lead the support cast as 7Sport’s Mel McLaughlin, Emma Freedman as Erebus Motorsport co-driver Jack Perkins will provide expert analysis.
Mark Larkham, Chad Neylon, Riana Crehan and Chris Stubbs will feature in pit lane throughout the weekend, while Matt Naulty leads the support category coverage alongside Richard Craill, with four-time Great Race winner Greg Murphy continues his commentary role from Sandown.
