Already a total of 56 entries have been received, with still four months until entries officially close.

“As the race continues to develop our focus is on attracting new and more current models to the grid, as well as growing the competition across each of the classes,” event director James O’Brien said.

“Once again we are very pleased with the reaction from production car competitors from across Australia and all the signs are already pointing to another highly competitive affair next Easter.”

So far the outright class A field includes the return of the Ford Focus RS driven to second place by Chaz Mostert and Nathan Morcom this year.

The traditional spread of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions and BMW will again be joined by cars like the Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Audi TTRS and Mercedes-Benz AMG A45. Sherrin Racing will run their BMW M4 which debuted in this race last Easter.

Australian Muscle Cars continue to be popular, with no less than 11 different Holden or HSV Commodores entered in the A2 and B2 categories for rear-wheel drive cars.
The B1 category includes a new VW Golf R entered by long-time racer Trevor Keene, a car that is likely to pose a challenge to the regular class benchmarks from BMW and Subaru.
Nine cars are confirmed in Class C for Production – Performance vehicles, including Peter Lacey’s VW Scirocco R and several examples of the quick Renault Megane RS265.
A lone Honda Integra will tackle five of the popular Toyota 86s in Class D, while the ‘baby’ car class E continues to grow as an ideal entry point to endurance racing at Mount Panorama.

Meanwhile, tickets are now on sale for the Event and can be purchased online via the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour website.
