A hugely popular and now traditional part of the event, Chemical Guys continue to work closely with long-time 12-Hour Rides & Coffee promoter Luke O'Neill to deliver what has become a traditional and hugely popular element of the 12-Hour weekend festival.

The 2025 event is at 90% capacity and is expected to sell out completely well before the January 31 – February 2 event next year, with close to 100 stunning cars expected to take part.

“Chemical Guys Rides & Coffee has got bigger and better every year,” promoter Luke O’Neill explained.

“Each year we fill spots quicker than the last and it’s an event people want to be part of, especially the chance to drive their pride and joy on Mount Panorama.

“Thanks to the Bathurst 12 Hour team and Alex Morrison and his crew from Chemical Guys, it’s going to be great to be back on the Mountain with an incredible array of rides next February.”

The Rides and Coffee event is a key component of the off-track entertainment available to fans at the Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour event, with an estimated $30-$40m of cars on display, both in the large Harris Park area and then on the track parade that is a highlight of the event.

With everything from hot Holdens and fast Fords to the road-going versions of cars in the Bathurst 12 Hour itself, Chemical Guys Rides & Coffee really has something for everyone.

As well as the cars, premium coffee will be on hand to fuel patrons throughout the event in the Chemical Guys Rides & Coffee area.

“We've seen significant growth of the Chemical Guys Rides & Coffee area over the last 3 years with some amazing machinery on show, from collectible to classic to the latest vehicles, it's an epic car show within Harris Park Merchandise area as part of our large event,” said Event Director, Shane Rudzis.

“I had the pleasure of participating in the Saturday lunch laps of the circuit with the cars & their owners last year and it was something which ranks as one of my most memorable experiences at the Mount Panorama circuit!

“As always it’s amazing stuff from Luke at LON Group and Alex at Chemical Guys, with their teams, to put on an element of the 12 Hour weekend which is one of the fan favorites."

Located in Harris Park, Chemical Guys Rides & Coffee is located adjacent to the popular Bathurst 12 Hour Manufacturers Walk area, and is free for all ticketholders to access throughout the event.
