How to watch the 2024 Bathurst 6 Hour LIVE on SBS

It’s considered by many as the ‘Ultimate Showroom Showdown’ and this Easter weekend, the Bathurst 6 Hour for showroom production cars is back on the screens of SBS.

From the sand of the Dakar Rally, to the dirt of ProMX to the burning rubber of the Australian Superbikes, there’s a host of great motorsport to watch on SBS On Demand.

For the first time since 2019, SBS will be the host free-to-air broadcaster for Bathurst’s Easter Enduro. 61 cars across eight classes and 13 manufacturers will tackle the 6,213km roads of Mount Panorama, known to the Wiradjuri people as Wahhlu, for six hours this Easter Sunday. The end goal is to win the ultimate prize in production car racing, as well as winning one of Bathurst’s big three endurance races.

Of the 62 entries taking part, there will feature eight former winners of the race that will face the 11:45am start this Easter Sunday, the most recent winners being Simon Hodges and Jayden Ojeda from 2023. Also taking part will be four current Supercars Championship and Super2 drivers; Will Davison, Tom Randle, Cameron Crick and Jett Johnson.

Gold Logie winner Grant Denyer will take the start in a Ford Mustang run by successful businessman and racer, Tony Quinn, and there is an all-female entry partaking the race in Class C for Performance Cars, featuring former Carrera Cup Australia pilot, Courtney Prince. The Victorian is one of four women that will contest the race this weekend.

Prominent motorsport identities Aaron Noonan and Richard Craill will headline the broadcast commentary team across the two days of live coverage. Noonan, aka the V8 Sleuth, will anchor the coverage from both pit lane and the commentary box, while Craill will again be lead commentator, having been a part of the 6 Hour from the very beginning in 2016. Joining the pair will be experienced commentator, Brian Van De Wakker, Speedcafe journalist Garry O’Brien and 2000 Bathurst 1000 winner Jason Bargwanna and his son, TCR Australia driver, Ben.

In a packed weekend of racing, the Bathurst 6 Hour will be joined by a strong support program, featuring the Australian Formula Ford Series, the CERA Hyundai Excel Series, the Australian Pulsar Racing Association, HQ Holdens, the Super Mini Challenge and Improved Production.
