The Bathurst 1000 kicks into gear this week and Seven will bring fans three full days of high-octane action, live from Mount Panorama.
Seven’s live and free coverage starts at 10.00am AEDT Friday 7 October on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus, and will include all the unmissable moments from the practice laps, to the all-important race and celebrations on Sunday.
Motorsport fans are in for a treat when resident Supercars expert and Sunrise Sport Presenter, Mark Beretta, and 7NEWS Sydney Sport Presenter, Mel McLaughlin, lead Seven’s Bathurst 1000 coverage over an action-packed three days.
Joining them will be rising star Jack Perkins, who will provide expert commentary in between competing in the Bathurst 1000 alongside co-driver Will Brown.
Brad Hodge and Emma Freedman will bring viewers all the colour, excitement and atmosphere from the mountain, while the ever-popular Mark Larkham reports live from pit lane.
Highly respected motorsport journalist Chris Stubbs will have all the latest news over the three days, while Supercars icons Mark Skaife and Neil Crompton lead the commentary of the Supercars Championship’s premier event.
The Repco Supercars Championship has been building to this week at Australian motorsport’s spiritual home, where reigning Bathurst champion Chaz Mostert returns alongside Fabian Coulthard while Sunday’s race will see the great Craig Lowndes become the first driver in Supercars’ history to start 300 events.
On Sunday, fans in the capital cities will not miss a second of the great race as Seven’s coverage continues uninterrupted during commercial breaks via cutting-edge picture-in-picture (PiP) technology on Channel 7, as seen throughout the 2022 Championship season.
Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said:
“It’s already been a massive year of sport on Seven, but you haven’t seen anything yet.”
“The Bathurst 1000 is without a doubt the premier event in Australian motorsport and Seven will bring fans all the best action from Mount Panorama across three full days of adrenaline-charged live and free racing, from this Friday.”
Seven’s Bathurst coverage on Friday will include Supercars practice and qualifying. Later, viewers will enjoy some fun on Pit Lane Live, a live show from pit lane at Mount Panorama with a lighter look at the Great Race. Bathurst greats and some of this year’s drivers will join for a chat, and the winner of the Pirtek Pit Stop Challenge will also be crowned.
Saturday’s coverage from Mount Panorama starts at 10.00am AEDT on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus, and will include Supercars practice and the Top 10 Shootout.
On Sunday, Seven’s broadcast kicks off with the Supercars warm up at 7.30 AEDT, before the event everyone has been waiting for – the Repco Bathurst 1000 – roars onto screens from 10.30am AEDT.
Fail to mentioned Foxtel has far better coverage of Foxsport 503 started Monday on the Bathurst channel showing documentary’s, old races until 7 AM on Thursday when all the live racing starts
Fox has all the export commentators, all the racing ad brake free.
So no Ch,7 will not be on in our house
Hi Joel, we will be publishing a full article outlining all the details of the Fox Sports coverage on Wednesday morning. Cheers
Not everyone can afford Foxtel Joel.
My Husband and I have watched Bathurst since the 1970s. We have loved watching it every year, that is until Mark Larkham joined the commentary team . He spoils the whole broadcast. Please get rid of him .He is a fool!
Hi Lyndall – that’s a shame. I find Mark to be very knowledgable and extremely entertaining in delivering some of the very technical parts of the coverage.
