Bathurst Week is getting bigger than ever this year, with track action for a jam-packed undercard starting on Tuesday.
Support categories include GT World Challenge Australia, S5000, TCR Australia, Super2, Carrera Cup, Toyota 86s, Trans Am and Touring Car Masters.
Supercars then hit the track on Thursday with the first of six hours of training.
Three of them are dedicated to co-pilots, while the starting grid for the Great Race is determined by the regular qualifying on Friday evening and the top 10 shootout on Saturday evening.
The race itself will begin later than ever, with lights at 12:15 pm local time and plans for a twilight finish.
Shane van Gisbergen / Garth Tander, Jamie Whincup / Craig Lowndes, Anton De Pasquale / Tony D’Alberto, Chaz Mostert / Lee Holdsworth and Cam Waters / James Moffat go into the week as favorites before the race.
