The LIQUI MOLY Bathurst 12 Hour is back. Sure, it ran last year but it was a stand-in race in a complicated time that did the job, sure, but wasn't what it once was. Any fears that it wouldn't return to its best, however, can confidently be put to bed following an incredible 2023 encounter that will be long remembered. As such, here are the best bits, those that need tuning up and those that just left us scratching our heads (especially if you are a certain bearded commentator) from this year's race. Welcome back to our (insert sponsor here)

Mark WalkerUnderstanding the Legend of Bathurst
I’ve been coming to Bathurst for 26 years, and now it has been absolutely hammered home: anyone who laps the Mount Panorama Circuit at 100 per cent is a certified legend. The Mountain towers above Bathurst, from most vantages around the city, those famed white letters near its peak gaze down on the plains. It was a ridiculous layout in the 1930s, and unthinkable today, compared to the sterilised world we typically race in. Every inch of the track has genuine history, name any stretch, and something infamous has taken place there. And it has some serious ghosts, so many

THE MARC CARS Australia team has launched a unique charitable initiative to support the official charity of the LIQUI MOLY Bathurst 12 Hour, Ronald McDonald House. In tribute to Valentino Rossi's debut in the race, the roof of the team's MARC I Mazda entry will sport Rossi's iconic 'The Doctor' logo and his iconic MotoGP helmet that famously featured his face in full view when crouched over the handlebars of his MotoGP bike. Every driver competing in the 2023 race will sign the roof of the MARC Cars entry following today's driver's briefing, with the roof to then be removed
