How to watch the Bathurst 1000
By Thomas Miles
Date posted: 9 October 2024
The biggest race of the year, the 2024 Bathurst 1000, is here and fans get to enjoy it on both Channel 7 and Fox Sports/Kayo.
Supercars will take on Mount Panorama once again this Thursday for practice ahead of Bathurst Day on Sunday.
As usual Fox Sports/Kayo will provide its usual ad break free coverage of every session on its Bathurst Channel.
Full TV times are below, but each day live coverage will start between 7.30-8.30 AEDT with the usual faces of Jess Yeates, Mark Skaife and Neil Crompton behind the mic.
Fox Sports will also exclusively show the Bathurst Street Party tonight from 17.30 AEDT.
In the build up to Bathurst, Skaife has picked his top five Bathurst moments and surprisingly for a Holden legend, Ford was in #1 spot.
Leading the way was the 1977 Moffat Ford Dealers formation finish followed by Peter Brock’s six-lap win in 1979.
In positions three and four were two of his own wins in 1992 and 2002, while completing the top five was the crazy 2014 race.
“I’ve chosen these moments because they’ve shaped the legacy of this iconic race, from legendary wins to dramatic finishes,” the six time Bathurst 1000 winner said.
“Each of these highlights has played a role in making Bathurst the spectacle it is today. And there’s no better way to experience all the action than on Kayo and Fox Sports.
“I’m incredibly excited for this year’s Bathurst 1000 – it’s the pinnacle of motorsport in Australia, and there’s nothing quite like the energy and intensity of Mount Panorama.”
Channel Seven will once again screen the Bathurst 1000 to free to air viewers and has a new-look commentary line up.
Familiar face Mark Beretta will host the coverage alongside Mel McLaughlin.
Despite still being James Courtney’s co-driver, Jack Perkins will do double duties on the providing expert comments.
Also reporting for Channel Seven will be Aaron Noonan, ARC champion Molly Taylor, Chris Stubbs and Emma Freedman.
Much like Skaife and Crompton, Mark Larkham, Chad Neylon and Riana Crehan remain important parts of the Supercars TV broadcast.
Following a massive month of sport on Seven and 7plus Sport, we cannot wait to present the Bathurst 1000, which is without a doubt the biggest weekend on the Australian motorsport calendar.
“This year’s Supercars Championship is shaping up to be one of the most open and exciting of recent times, which makes choosing a winner for this year’s Bathurst 1000 near impossible,” said Seven’s Executive Producer, Motorsport, Angela Rampal.
“Will it be current leader Will Brown taking out his first ever Bathurst title, or will we see his close competitor in Chaz Mostert claim his third win on the mountain?
“Once again, Seven has lined up an incredible broadcast team to lead viewers through 26 hours of live and free coverage, including hosts Mark Beretta and Mel McLaughlin, alongside current driver Jack Perkins as he juggles his time behind the wheel and behind the ‘mic for our coverage.”
