Get ready for an exciting twist in the world of motorsports! The iconic Bathurst 12 Hour race is about to kick off, but there's a catch for viewers.
Traditionally, this thrilling event has been accessible on free-to-air TV, with Seven and Fox sharing the coverage. However, this year, the race will be exclusively shown on Foxtel, a pay television service, and Kayo Sports, an online streaming platform. But here's the controversial part: this decision has sparked debates among fans, questioning the accessibility of such a renowned event.
Now, for those eager to catch the action, there's an introductory offer from Kayo Sports. New subscribers can access Kayo Sports Premium for just $5 per month for the first two months, using the code KAYOSC26. This offer is a limited-time deal, ending on February 20, so act fast if you want to take advantage!
The live coverage of the Bathurst 12 Hour will be an adrenaline-pumping experience on Fox Sports 506, with Saturday's action starting at 1 pm AEDT for qualifying and Sunday's coverage beginning at 5:30 am AEDT, leading up to the race start. And here's the best part - the entire endurance race will be ad-free!
This year marks a significant milestone, as the Bathurst 12 Hour will be broadcast in stunning 4K for the first time, offering 16 hours of live coverage across two days. Get ready for an immersive viewing experience!
Commentary for this epic event will be led by John Hindhaugh and Richard Crail, joined by the legendary six-time Bathurst 1000 winner, Garth Tander. In the pit lane, Chad Neylon and Shea Adam will bring you all the action and insights.
