V8 Supercars Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 returns to TEN this Friday.
Weekend coverage includes the first all-female team to compete at Bathurst since 1998. ONE is also screening Japanese MotoGP and the Formula 1 Grand Prix Of Russia.
Arguably the biggest V8 Supercars event of the year, the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 is an endurance classic with the stars of the V8 Supercars and their co-drivers set to battle it out over 1000km of intense, wheel-to-wheel racing.
All eyes will be on the grid when the V8 Supercars hit the tarmac under race conditions on Sunday at 11.00am AEDT. Can six-time series champion Jamie Whincup make amends for last year’s final lap heart-break or will championship leader Mark Winterbottom take the coveted win?
Also in action this weekend are the Harvey Norman Supergirls. Swiss IndyCar driver Simona De Silvestro and Australia’s Renee Gracie will take to the mountain as the first all-female team to compete at Bathurst since 1998.
Tune in on Network Ten for more than 20 hours of live coverage from Mount Panorama on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with TEN Sport’s Matt White, Grant Denyer, Mark Howard, Kate Peck and expert commentators Mark Larkham and Rick Kelly.
Also on Sunday, tune in for the 2015 Japanese MotoGP from 3.30pm AEDT live on ONE. Then for a Bathurst debrief, tune in for a special edition of RPM at 8.30pm AEDT on ONE before the 2015 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Russia from 9.30pm live on TEN.

Massive motorsport on TV for TEN. Wished the ratings would go up.
Yeah David the title says ‘V8 Supercars Bathurst 1000: guide’ why nothing on the Foxtel coverage which starts on Thursday morning at 9:15am?
Sorry TEN I’ll be watching it on Foxtel in HD starting some 27 hours earlier.
All I can see supplied to me is Sunday 7:30am FOX Sports.
The Foxtel coverage Runs from Thursday morning through until Sunday evening, of course times will vary depending on where you live.
I’ll be watching on Fox Sports in HD. Simply there are less ads. A fantastic Motorsport weekend!
“Simply there are less ads” – You’re basing that statement on a show that has yet to air?
Paying to watch ads, Rupert would be proud.
Fox Sports don’t show any ads during the races, no reason to believe this week will be any different
I’m pretty sure that they will have to given the sport-siphoning regulations. They did something similar for the Australian GP which has the same status as Bathurst 1000 on the list.
For the Australian Grand Prix Channel 10 had already sold the advertising before the Fox Sports deal was done. Neither could back out of it so Fox had to make the most of a bad situation.
According to this announcement by V8 Supercars, the Bathurst 1000 is the only race that won’t be ad-break free.

I’m expecting some ads, but hopefully less than Channel 10. There won’t be much I think.
