Following news of a live free-to-air broadcast on SBS, organisers have now proclaimed additional coverage on Fox Sports (including via Kayo Sports).
Both will take the race day telecast from 11:30 local time/AEDT on March 31, with the headline act to kick off at 11:45 at Mount Panorama.
SBS also retains its four hours of coverage on Saturday, March 30, starting at 13:00 local time/AEDT in time for Bathurst 6 Hour qualifying and selected support races.
However, Fox Sports will be on from 12:00 and wrap up at 18:00, providing even more air time for support categories.
Also confirmed is the qualifying format, with the grid set in two parts; the first, 20-minute session for the lower 50 percent from practice, then 20 minutes for the upper 50 percent.
The undercard is comprised of the Australian Formula Ford Series, Australian Pulsar Racing Association, HQXtra, SuperMini Challenge, CERA Dunlop Destiny Series, and RPM Group Improved Production.
Practice kicks off on Friday, March 29.
