World's first live motorsport marketplace to launch at Bathurst

RPM, the world’s first live marketplace dedicated to motorsport, is proud to announce a landmark partnership with the Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour. Joined by founding partner Scuderia Autoart, this collaboration marks the global debut of a platform designed to revolutionise fan engagement at Australia’s premier international endurance race.

RPM is a peer-to-peer motorsport marketplace that allows fans to trade directly with one another, while empowering creators to launch their own Clubs and markets. Using official real-time data, fans can buy and sell positions on specific race events—from the speed of a pit stop to the timing of an overtake.

The platform turns every lap into a dynamic market. Fans use their racing knowledge to drive their decisions, buying in when they see value and selling at the right moment as the action unfolds on track. It is a true test of skill, allowing the community to capitalise on their ability to read the race.

Benjamin Jarrett, Founder and CEO of RPM, said:

“It is an incredible privilege to announce the Bathurst 12 Hour as RPM’s first major partnership alongside Scuderia Autoart. Mount Panorama is a place where legends are made, and to be welcomed into this history is a landmark moment for our team.

“Through our live marketplace, fans won't just be watching the action, they’ll be active participants in it. We are thrilled to bring a new dimension of engagement to this iconic race, ensuring that every strategy and every pass creates a new opportunity for fans to identify and capture value as the race unfolds.”

The project is also backed by Alessio Iera, Director and Founder of Scuderia Autoart and a founding member of RPM, who sees the platform as a necessary evolution for the sport.

Alessio Iera said:

“My involvement with RPM comes from a belief I’ve held throughout my career in motorsport: that innovation is as fundamental to racing as the drivers themselves. Through Scuderia Autoart, I’ve spent years working alongside manufacturers, teams, and engineers who push the boundaries of performance, data, and technology. Motorsport has always been a proving ground for ideas in the pursuit of absolute speed.

“RPM represents that same spirit of progression, applied to the fan experience. It recognises that modern motorsport audiences are deeply knowledgeable, analytical, and engaged. RPM gives them a platform that respects that intelligence.”

Iera noted that the strategic nature of the Bathurst 12 Hour race makes it the ideal launchpad.

“Launching at the Bathurst 12 Hour is particularly meaningful. It is a race defined by strategy, endurance, and decision-making—the very elements that RPM brings to life for fans in real time. This partnership is about more than visibility for RPM; it is about alignment. RPM belongs in environments where motorsport thinking is rewarded, and Bathurst is the ultimate expression of that.”

Shane Rudzis, Event Director, Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour, said:

“Welcoming RPM to the Bathurst 12 Hour is an exciting step forward for our event and for motorsport fans. Innovation has always been at the heart of endurance racing, and RPM brings a completely new way for audiences to engage with the strategy, unpredictability and intensity that define Mount Panorama.

“The Bathurst 12 Hour has a reputation for attracting passionate, highly knowledgeable fans, and this partnership gives them another layer of immersion, one that rewards their understanding of the race as it unfolds in real time. With the support of Scuderia Autoart, we’re thrilled to see this world-first platform make its global debut right here at Bathurst in 2026.”
