The countdown to the 2027 Meguiar's Bathurst 12 Hour continues apace, with camping and corporate hospitality sales set to open to the public next Wednesday, 12 August.
Following a successful renewal period for returning patrons, fans will soon have the opportunity to secure their place at Australia's International Endurance Race when remaining camping inventory and hospitality packages go on sale.
The popular summertime event will take place February 11-14, with 2027’s edition featuring a Thursday test day, offering campers an additional day of on-track action.
Access to the Thursday private testing sessions will be exclusively limited to campground ticketholders and appropriately accredited personnel, adding extra value to those choosing to stay on site in 2027.
Camping remains one of the most sought-after experiences at Mount Panorama, with limited availability expected across key precincts following the exclusive renewal window provided to 2026 campsite holders earlier this month.
Corporate hospitality sales will also open to the public on Wednesday, offering premium experiences and views from the iconic Mount Panorama pit building.
Bathurst 12 Hour Event Director Shane Rudzis said excitement was building as another important phase of preparations commenced.
"The Meguiar's Bathurst 12 Hour continues to grow in popularity and we're looking forward to welcoming drivers, teams, and fans back to Mount Panorama in 2027," Rudzis said.
"Camping is an iconic part of the Bathurst 12 Hour experience and demand for trackside accommodation remains exceptionally strong. In 2027, Campers will have exclusive access to the Thursday action as a way of adding even more value to their experience staying trackside.
“With limited camping availability across the circuit, we encourage fans to act quickly when public sales open.
"At the same time, our corporate hospitality program offers a premium way to experience world-class GT racing, whether entertaining clients, rewarding staff or enjoying the event with friends and colleagues.
“The Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour is where the world comes to race, and we can’t wait to welcome the best GT teams, drivers and manufacturers from here and abroad back to Bathurst in February 2027.”
Bathurst mayor Robert Taylor said the event continued to deliver significant benefits for the region while showcasing one of Australia's most recognisable sporting venues.
"The Meguiar's Bathurst 12 Hour is a signature event on Bathurst's calendar and continues to attract visitors from across Australia and around the world," Mayor Taylor said.
"Camping on Mount Panorama and experiencing the race from one of our hospitality venues are memorable experiences that combine world-class motorsport with everything our region has to offer.
"We look forward to welcoming drivers, teams, and fans back to Bathurst in 2027 and encourage those planning to attend to secure their place early."
