Supercars drivers will get their first taste of what’s expected to be a wet and wild Bathust 1000 when they hit the track on Thursday morning for Practice 1.
All drivers can hit the track in the opening hit-out from 11am AEDT, with another practice session scheduled for co-drivers at 3.55pm AEDT.
Rain has fallen consistently in Bathurst and is scheduled to continue over the next four days, setting the stage for an eventful edition of the great race.
Supercars legend Mark Skaife believes the conditions will make for one of the most open Bathurst 1000s in years.
“When you add water, we’re predicting rain for most of the weekend, what you do is double the candidates in terms of who can win this,” Skaife said on the Fox Sports coverage.

“I think if you come in as a dry race there’s probably five or six combinations that are red hot fast. But there’s some mudlarks. When you add the water you add a heap of blokes, you add Craig Lowndes, David Reynolds, you add Andre Heimgartner, Will Brown, Brodie Kostecki, even Richie Stanaway is excellent in the rain.
“So if you add those mudlarks and you then look at the combinations .. there’s probably a “dozen that can win this weekend.”
Every session of the event will be broadcast live on Foxtel (Fox Sports 503) and streamed on Kayo.
