2021 Bathurst 1000: Seven guide

Seven’s coverage of the Bathurst 1000 got underway this morning, with three days of action from Mount Panorama.

Hosting are Mark Beretta and Abbey Gelmi, along with rising star Jack Perkins, who will provide commentary in between competing alongside co-driver Will Brown.

Also featuring are motorsport journalist Chris Stubbs from Pit Lane, Brad Hodge and Emma Freedman with motorsport icons Neil Crompton and Mark Skaife and Mark Larkham.

Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said: “It’s already been a massive year of sport on Seven, but this week should be the biggest yet.

“The Bathurst 1000 is without question the pinnacle of Australian motorsport and Seven will bring fans all the very best action from Mount Panorama across three full days of adrenaline- charged live and free racing, starting from this Friday.”

The Repco Supercars Championship has been building all year to this week at Australian motorsport’s spiritual home, Mount Panorama, where recently crowned 2021 champion Shane van Gisbergen will look to cap a brilliant season with a second consecutive Bathurst 1000 victory alongside co-driver Garth Tander.

This Sunday, for the very first time on a free-to-air broadcast of the Bathurst 1000, fans in the capital cities won’t miss a second of the great race as Seven’s coverage continues uninterrupted during commercial breaks via cutting-edge picture-in-picture (PiP) technology.

Seven’s Bathurst coverage on Friday will include Supercars practice and qualifying, along with TCR, Toyota Supports, Carrera Cup and Dunlop Series races. Then from 7.00pm AEDT on 7mate and 7plus viewers will enjoy some laughs on Friday Night Live, when Supercars drivers and teams take them behind the scenes of the world’s greatest touring car championship and compete in some fun challenges.

Saturday’s coverage from Mount Panorama starts at 10.00am AEDT on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus. It will include Supercars practice and the T op 10 Shootout, along with S5000, TCR, Carrera Cup and Dunlop Series races.

On Sunday, Seven’s broadcast kicks off with the Supercars warm up, and S5000 and Carrera Cup races, before the event everyone has been waiting for – the Repco Bathurst 1000 – screams into action.
