The Bathurst 1000 (currently officially known as the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000) is a 1,000-kilometre touring car race held annually at Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. Traditionally the race was run on the first Sunday in October, but more recently has moved to the second Sunday. The race traces its lineage back to a production car race held at Phillip Island in 1960, called the Armstrong 500. Since then 50 races have taken place under the combined history of two events at two venues in two states. It is known among fans and broadcasters as "The Great Race", and is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Australian motorsport.

Early years The Armstrong 500, the event that would become the Bathurst 1000, was first held on 20th November 1960 at Phillip Island in Victoria over a 500 mile distance, It was created as a sponsoring tool for Armstrong, to test the durability of products they made at the time. Entry was limited to standard production saloons built or assembled in Australia and the cars could not be modified in any way. The race was won by Frank Coad and John Roxburgh in a Vauxhall Cresta, the only Vauxhall in a field of 45 cars. It has been suggested that Pyramid Rock, Philip Island be merged into this article or section. ...

Vauxhall Cresta The Vauxhall Cresta was probably the most elegant British car of the late 1950s even though it was not sufficiently upmarket for it to be driven by those that considered themselves the elite of British society. ...
In 1963 the race moved to Bathurst but kept the Armstrong 500 name. As the race's popularity grew, it became a means for car manufacturers to showcase their products as the cars on the track were identical to those in the showrooms of Australia. Of particular note was Ford's introduction of the Falcon GT and later the GTHO which, in the hands of Allan Moffat, won handily in 1970 and 1971. This article is about the Australian car model. ...

In 1973, the race distance was changed from 500 miles to 1,000 kilometres as Australia shifted towards the adoption of the metric system. That same year, a new rule was implemented allowing modifications to be made to the cars.

Group A era From 1985 to 1992, the race was run under international Group A rules. Imported turbocharged cars, most notably Ford Sierras, dominated the race during this period. Tom Walkinshaw Racing's Jaguar XJ-S dominated the 1985 race, with John Goss and Armin Hahne fnishing first. In relation to motorsport governed by the FIA, Group A referred to a set of regulations providing production-derived vehicles for outright competition. ...
The Ford Sierra was a large family car built by Ford Europe between 1982 and 1993, originally designed by Uwe Bahnsen, Robert Lutz and Patrick le Quément, . Released on 21 September 1982, it replaced the Ford Cortina/Taunus, and was itself replaced by the Mondeo. ...

In 1987, the race was a round of the short-lived World Touring Car Championship, and competitors in that championship raced against local teams. The resulting culture clash was considerable; local scrutineers, who had been applying the Group A regulations as written, repeatedly disagreed with European teams (notably that of Rudi Eggenberger) and the global organising body (FISA, the ancestor of the FIA) that were considerably more liberal with their interpretations. Eggenberger's cars finished 1st and 2nd, only to be disqualified months later due to bodywork irregularities, and the race was awarded to Peter Brock giving him his ninth and final Bathurst victory. The 1987 World Touring Car Championship season was the 1st World Touring Car Championship season. ...

Local Sierra teams won in 1988 and 1989, losing in 1990 to the local favourite Holden Commodores after all the leading Sierras broke down. 1990 was also the year that Nissan, who had been running its Skylines in Australian touring car competition for a few years, introduced the four-wheel drive GT-R and while it suffered from mechnical problems in that year's race, it went on to win both the 1991 and 1992 races.

The 1992 victory was particularly controversial. Already disliked by the parochial Bathurst crowd, who saw the race as a contest between the traditional V8 touring car marques of Holden and Ford, the leading Skyline of Jim Richards and Mark Skaife was awarded victory after the race was abandoned following a huge thunderstorm that caused a number of crashes, including that of the winning car. As Richards had been leading the race in the lap prior to the cancellation of the event his team was declared the winner (as is usual practice in a race cancellation). However, his car had crashed on the cancelled lap and was immobile, hence this was an unpopular decision with many fans. Richards was booed on the winner's podium, prompting him to call the crowd "a pack of arseholes". Holdens rule This article is about the Australian car manufacturer. ...

V8 Supercar/ 2-litre Super Tourer era Marketing executives from both Holden and Ford decided they needed a better platform to show off the local product and appease unhappy fans and it was decided that for 1993, a new touring car class would be created that would later be renamed to V8Supercar, with entry limited to only V8-powered Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores (with one exception; a weight limited BMW M3 driven by Tony Longhurst). This class replaced the Australian Touring Car Championship and effectively banned Nissan's GT-Rs from competition. Almost immediately, Nissan pulled out of Australian motorsport with the exception of minor support of the Garry Rogers Motor Racing team with the Nissan Primera. Nissan local vehicle production also ceased production in October of 1992 and reverted back to a full importer. V8 Supercars is a touring car racing category. ...

In 1994, Australia also held a 2-litre Super Touring championship which was run by TOCA and these cars ran at Bathurst that year alongside the V8s, with a top placing of 10th outright. In 1995, however, the 2-litre cars ran only a support race at Bathurst as the 1,000km race was once again only for the V8s. Supertouring or Class II Touring Cars were the rules laid out by the FIA for national touring car racing in 1994, based on the 2. ...
TOCA are the organisers and administrators of the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship). ...
The V8 Supercar organisers, AVESCO, began a spending war with the Super Touring class, seeking to dominate Australian motorsport by out-promoting the 2-litre class at any cost. AVESCO began requiring more money from venues to host a V8 Supercar event and by 1997, the cost to have a V8 race at Bathurst was far in excess of what the Australian Racing Drivers Club could afford. AVESCO, the Australian Vee Eight Supercar Company, is the company who manage, market, and promote the V8 Supercar touring car racing category. ...
When the required fees were not met, AVESCO pulled Bathurst from the V8 calendar, leaving the organisers without an entry field for the 1997 race. TOCA filled the void with a 2-litre Super Touring field, featuring a number of British Touring Car Championship drivers including Alain Menu, Yvan Muller and Rickard Rydell. The race was won by Paul Morris and Craig Baird in a BMW 320i, however this team was disqualified as Baird had violated an endurance racing rule prohibiting drivers from driving more than 210 consecutive minutes in any one stint. The race was awarded to David and Geoff Brabham, also in a BMW. The British Touring Car Championship is a touring car racing series held each year in the United Kingdom and Ireland. ...

In 1997 and 1998, the V8 Supercars did run a 1,000km race at Bathurst two weeks after the Super Touring race, called the "Australian 1000 Classic". Both races claimed to be the legitimate Bathurst 1000; the V8 Supercars' case was that they were the only truly Australian class of racing and the more popular of the two, while the Super Touring race was the official "Bathurst 1000" and was held on the traditional date of the first Sunday in October.
The fans voted with their feet and, due to a reducing number of competitors and spectators, the Super Touring class disappeared from Bathurst competition in 1999 and the race became exclusively for V8 Supercars.

The 2006 event was marred by the death of New Zealand driver Mark Porter in a Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series support race on Friday, 6th October. His car spun in a section at the top of the mountain and was then hit from behind by Chris Alajajian and stalled, sitting sideways on the track. As fellow driver David Clark came around a blind corner at speeds of around 200 km/h, he swerved to try and avoid Porter's car but slid sideways into the driver's door. Porter was airlifted to hospital with serious head and chest injuries but passed away in late afternoon of Sunday, 8th October, as the feature race was concluding. Just two hours after the crowd was celebrating Craig Lowndes' win, and on the same day that Peter Brock was farewelled, Porter's family issued a statement announcing his death.
