With an average audience across the 12 hours of 238,000 and a total reach of 1.66 million Australians on 7mate, plus over 2.4 million minutes of coverage live-streamed on 7plus, the 2019 race showcased the strength of marquee sporting events on Seven.

“This year’s race was a massive success, driving huge viewership across 7mate and 7plus, demonstrating the power of sports partnering with Seven to build their audience and reach Australians who love their events. I can’t wait for next year’s race.”
Supercars CEO Sean Seamer added:
“We’re really happy with how the line up is looking for the 12-hour in February and we’re looking forward to a great event. While we’d love to see as many people as possible make it out to Bathurst for the weekend, we’re sure our fans will appreciate the options available to watch the broadcast through an extended multi-platform broadcast arrangement.”
