iRacing Bathurst 1000 Runs October 2–4 With Gen 3 Supercars

iRacing’s Bathurst 1000 special event runs October 2–4, bringing the Gen 3 Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang Supercars to Mount Panorama for a 161-lap team race. The event is presented by Next Level Racing, and iRacing has published the participation rules and five start times.

The first slot starts Saturday at 03:00 GMT on Australian servers. Further Saturday starts are at 07:00, 12:00 and 16:00 GMT, followed by a Sunday 00:00 GMT slot. In Eastern time, those correspond to Friday at 11 p.m., then Saturday at 3 a.m., 8 a.m., noon and 8 p.m. RACESPOT will broadcast the top split of the Saturday 12:00 GMT race through iRacing’s live page.

Teams must declare between two and 16 drivers. Fair-share requirements apply to every declared driver, so the roster needs to be planned alongside stint lengths. Registration opens an hour before the start, with a 30-minute warmup followed by eight minutes of qualifying limited to two laps.

The race uses open setups and dynamic weather. Its simulated calendar date is October 11 at 10:50 a.m.; that setting is separate from the actual October 2–4 event weekend. Splits are based on iRating and can contain up to 30 teams.

Entry requires a Sports Car licence at Class C or above, or Class D with a 4.0 Safety Rating. The team disqualification limit is 150 incident points. Stop-and-go penalties begin at 50 incidents, with further penalties every 20 incidents until the limit.

Check the official event post and linked forum discussion before registering. They contain the current rules and are the appropriate reference if your team needs to confirm eligibility, scheduling or the fair-share calculation.
