Two for selective tender for Fifth Event

MEDIA RELEASE 19 July 2019

Bathurst Regional Council has invited two organisations to take part in a selective tender process for a potential fifth event at Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit.

Mayor Graeme Hanger OAM said the two are:

· Australian Racing Group

· Supercars

"Council is currently finalising the tender specification and we expect the two companies invited to take part in that process will receive those documents before the end of the month. We anticipate Council will consider these tenders in September.”

Council will not be making any further comment on this process until the selective tender process has taken place.

Council called for EOIs for a potential fifth event in March this year receiving a strong response with six EOIs lodged.

The circuit currently hosts four major events annually which require full track closures - the Bathurst 12 Hour, the Bathurst 6 Hour, the Bathurst 1000 and Challenge Bathurst.
